Komodo dragons are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat. They stalk live prey, and they are also scavengers, feeding on carrion, or the carcasses of dead animals. They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle, and even young ones of their own kind. They have been known to stalk human beings.
Young, newly-hatched komodo dragons feed entirely on insects, but as they grow older, they begin to feed on larger prey such as lizards, birds and small mammals such as rodents. Juvenile komodo dragons also eat eggs.
A comodo dragon doesn't eat everyday because it has a slow metabolism. When it does eat, it will consume 80% of it's body weight at one feeding. The comodo dragon can survive on 12 meals a year. In a zoo environment, this reptile is fed once a week consisting of smaller animals such as rabbits and rodents.
Well they can eat 100 pounds per meal! You welcome
Komodo Dragon is a species its self of monitor lizards.
two i can think of komodo dragon bearded dragon
Well, it is technically not a Dragon, the name just says 'Dragon' in it because the Komodo Dragon is one of the larger reptiles on Earth. The Komodo dragon is the largest monitor lizard species, but is smaller than crocodiles and alligators, and many large snakes such as pythons and anacondas. Komodo "Dragons" are not really dragons at all. They're just hyperbolically-named lizards.
there are MANY differences between komodo dragons and real dragons. komodo dragon are ten feet in length. a dragon is about 40 feet. a komodo is 3 feet tall. dragons are 20.a komodo has no wings, spines,horns or spade. a dragons has all of that. theres much more but that some of the basics.
The komodo Dragon for many reasons. First of all, it has 2 lethal weapons, the first one is it's bacteria. The komodo Dragon has 50 strains its bacteria in its mouth. The second weapon the komodo Dragon has is its highly lethal killing venom. The komodo dragon would ambush the rhino before the fight begins and bite the rhino and even if the komodo dragon gets killed the rhino will die after a while because of all the bacteria and venom inside its blood stream.
The Komodo Dragon is a large reptile, adults can reach 2-3 meters. The species is indigenous to the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores and Gili Motang in Indonesia. Inhabiting these islands the species are isolated from any potential predators that may kill and feed upon them. That is not to say nothing eats the Komodo Dragon. A dead one may be have its flesh consumed by a bird of prey.Additional informationAdult Komodo dragons do not have any natural enemies, but they are cannibalistic and will raid unguarded Komodo dragon nests to eat the eggs and will eat hatchling and juvenile Komodos. One source estimates that 10% of the adult diet consists of juvenile Komodos. The hatchlings could be consumed by any predator, including their mother.
A Komodo dragon will run down its prey (usually medium to large mammals), just like many predatory mammals do. Like a predatory mammal, they also prefer to run after prey that is injured, weak, young, or sick (they're easier to catch up to). They bite their prey, and then let it go. A Komodo dragon's saliva is full of deadly bacteria, and their bitten prey soon succumbs to infection. The dragon then uses its forked tongue to 'sniff out' where its prey has gone, and chow down. Sometimes many dragons will converge on one kill. If there is plenty to eat, they may all tear in at once - sometimes fighting ensues, though!
A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), the Komodo dragon is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft) and weighing around 70 kilograms (150 lb).The largest living reptile is the saltwater crocodile.
It is about 90-100 eggs in year.
It is undetermined because a dragon is only a mythological character. There are no proofs that dragons exists or if they lived before. The only living dragon is the Komodo dragon and it is a lizard.
Just one.
Komodo dragons are at the top of any food chain (an apex predator) because of their size and strength. Their poison would make them a deadly dish for other creatures. Although you might be able to say that vultures eat many of them, but only after they die.
