Research suggests that the ancestor of the komodo dragon was the now-extinct Australian dragon Megalania, which averaged 7 metres in length. The Megalania was basically a giant goanna (monitor lizard) weighing an average of 600kg, although research on this seems to conflict, with some studies suggesting the Megalania was around 4.5m in length, with an average weight of 300 kg.
It was believed to have thickset front and hind legs, and a solid body, while its fairly large skull had a crest between the eyes. It had extremely sharp, serrated teeth.
