What is the komodo dragon prey to?

Answer 1

Yes, the komodo dragon is very dangerous. It has a very dangerous, venomous bite.

For years it was believed that the danger of a Komodo dragon's bite was due not to venom, but to bacteria that live on its teeth. Recent research, however, has discovered that the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful venom which actually thins the blood, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The sharp, serrated teeth of a komodo dragon are used to open a gaping wound in its prey, enabling the venom to flow easily.

The discovery of venom glands in the Komodo dragon challenges the previous assumption that fatal bites were due to the consumption of carrion (rotting things), and the resultant growth of toxic bacteria in the mouths of the lizards. Infections by these organisms would still be a serious factor in treating a bite wound. Komodo dragons do not usually attack people, preferring other game such as deer. But there are documented cases of them stalking and killing human beings.

Answer 2

A Komodo Dragon's enemy is surprisingly themselves. They are very violent and are the strongest creatures on Komodo Island. The Lizard can kill a deer, lizards, birds and much more so since the other Komodos are the only animals with the same power then it leads to Komodos are their own enemy.

Answer 3

They are tertiary predators (predator at the top of the food chain) and are cannibalistic (they eat other Komodo Dragons).

They are currently listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Redlist, with their greatest enemy being volcanic activity and fire, but they are also threatened by forest clearing and tourism.
