Varanus komodoensis.
The scientific name of an organism consists of two parts: the genus name and the species name. The genus name is capitalized and the species name is lowercase. For example, in Homo sapiens (humans), "Homo" is the genus and "sapiens" is the species.
Write the name of the genus first, and ALWAYScapitalize just the FIRST LETTER of the genus name. Write the name or the species next, and NEVER capitalize any part of the species name. Either UNDERLINE the genus and species names (separately), OR write both words in ITALICS
The genus and species are part of the process of classifiying an organism. The genus and species make up the scientific name for an organism. the first letter of the genus is capitalized. then there is the species which is lower case.
Binomial nomenclature is a naming system for organisms where each species is given a two-part scientific name consisting of its genus and species. The genus is a group of species that share similarities, while the species is a specific group within that genus. Together, the genus and species names form the scientific name of an organism.

Komodo "Dragons" are not really dragons at all. They're just hyperbolically-named lizards.
