Yes Komodo Dragons are very deadly predators. They have a very powerful bite and they have a nasty "venom" which is deadly bacteria in their saliva and when the prey is bitten, the saliva works on to the wound and easily kill the prey.

Is a lizard an example of a niche?

A lizard is not a niche, it is an organism. Organisms require an environmental niche in order to survive. Most lizards eat insects, many of them live in dry or semi-arid climates, and that would be their niche. The Komodo Dragon has a different niche, being a much larger type of lizard. It eats larger animals. It has a predatory niche.


How long have Marsupial dragons been known of?

This site is very interesting, it also has your answer, (excerpts and the site):The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), also known as the Komodo Monitor, Komodo Island Monitor, Ora (to the natives of Komodo), or simply Komodo, is a species of lizard which inhabits the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Gili Dasami in central Indonesia. A member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae, and the clade Toxicofera, the Komodo is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2-3 metres (approximately 6.5-10 feet). This great length is attributed to island gigantism, as there are no carnivorous mammals to fill the niche in the islands that they live on, and the Komodo dragon's low metabolic rate. As a result of their great size, these lizards are apex predators, dominating the ecosystems in which they live. Megalania is an extinct giant monitor lizard. It was one of the megafauna that roamed southern Australia, and appears to have become extinct around 40,000 years ago. It was once thought to belong to a distinct monotypic genus and called Megalania prisca, (Greek "great" + "roam", "in reference to the terrestrial nature of the great Saurian" (Owen, 1859)). Its placement as a valid genus remains controversial, with many authors preferring sinking the genus into Varanus (Molnar, 2004), which encompasses all living monitor lizards. The first aboriginal settlers of Australia would certainly have encountered living Megalania.* http://www.dragonsguide.com/
