How many Komodo dragons are there in the wild?

Answer 1

This is not an answerable question.

Most of the Komodo Dragons who have ever lived have died many many years ago.

I think you may want to know how many are extinct or how many are left or some variation on that.

Please re-ask your question but state it differently.

Answer 2

Very few humans are killed by the Komodo dragon. Their diet is wide-ranging, and includes invertebrates, other reptiles (including smaller Komodo dragons), birds, bird eggs, small mammals, monkeys, wild boar, goats, deer, horses, and water buffalo. Although the Komodo dragon is a carnivore, they mainly consume carrion and seldom attempt to attack (or eat) humans, unless provoked.

If cornered, the Komodo will react aggressively by gaping their mouth, hissing, and swinging their tail. If they are disturbed further, they may start an attack and bite. Although there are anecdotes of unprovoked Komodo dragons attacking or preying on humans, most of these reports are found to be not reputable.

Answer 3

It's not a yearly thing, as it tends to be a rare type of event. More than a dozen have been killed over the past 20 years, but that's barely one per year. More people are killed by cows, sharks, donkeys, mosquitoes, and dogs every year.

Answer 4

Only 4 people has been killed by komodo dragons the last 35 years, ( 1974, 2000, 2007, 2009 ). So I would say a normal year would be 0 deaths by komodo dragons.

Answer 5
