Komodo dragons have a highly efficient respiratory system that includes large lungs and a unique structure called the air sac, which aids in buoyancy and gas exchange. Their lungs are adapted for their size, allowing for effective oxygen intake during both rest and activity. Additionally, they possess a diaphragm-like muscle that helps in expanding and contracting the lungs, enhancing their breathing efficiency, especially during vigorous activities like hunting. Overall, their respiratory system supports their status as the largest living lizard.
The entire population of wild Komodo dragons exists in Indonesia, on the volcanic Lesser Sunda Islands: Flores, Gili, Komodo, Montang, Padar, and Rinca. The smallest of these islands are Gili, Montang and Padar. The majority are to be found on Komodo. Padar has had no permanent residents since l984, when a fire decimated the island's prey base.
