The dragon is Beowulf's final adversary in the poem, and it represents the demise of Beowulf's kingdom, the end of a golden and peaceful era for his people. The dragon guards a treasure of a long-forgotten society, foreshadowing that Beowulf's homeland will soon fall into disarray. Dragons have come to typically symbolize greed as well, but the more important point is that the dragon is Beowulf's and his kingdom's doom. Before the fight, all but one of his men desert him, showing that the allegiance holding his kingdom together is already falling apart. Although his companion slays the dragon, the implication is that Beowulf's people, the Geats, are doomed.

let me just say that i can answer any question you have about komodo dragons, they are my favorite. but anyways, before i get too ahead of myself, they live on the islands of komodo (obviously), rinca, flores, and gili motang, which are all part of indonisian territory. scientists estimate only 3,000 alive right now, i wish i could do something about it heck im just a 16 year old kid in kentucky, what good could i do, anyways i hope that answered your question satifactory enough

I was unable to hold the rhino beneath the surface of my bathtub long enough to give a conclusive answer.

Yes, so do you.

komodo can swim from 450 m (Auffenberg, 1981) to 1,000 m (I don't remember the name of researcher who says this). but my guide on Komodo National Park said, it can swim for 450 km.

Yes there is.

Anti-bacterial cleaning of the wouund, debrieding, drains and antibiotics is effective treatment of Komodo bites.

They live on the Islands Rinca,Flores,Gili Motang and komodo.

Once a Komodo Dragon hatches (15 to 20 eggs buried in the sand) it is very vulnerable to being eaten by larger dragons, and other predators. So they must run away and hide or climb trees to escape until they are big enough to hold their own.

Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar.

They are. Komodo dragons have ambush attacked and killed adult humans before.

im pretty sure they just poo like a human :)

I guess that the biggest thing that a komodo dragon can eat is humans or goats, zebras, horses, etc. They can eat almost any living thing that are near them. So, anything that is living better watch out!

P.S. Komodo dragons don't usually eat humans, only if they're hungry enough. So don't make them mad!

not much they usually live in desert area so they may have a few scrubs

No. Komodo dragons are part of the monitor lizard family, Varanidae. There is a crocodile monitor lizard in this family. Crocodiles belong to a separate family, Crocodylinae.

No,but a komodo dragons spit carries a lot of bacteria

Every country says komodo dragon the same way, I looked it up.

It is highly likely. Adult komodo dragons prey on younger dragons. Also, the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful venom which actually thins the blood, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The sharp, serrated teeth of a komodo dragon are used to open a gaping wound in its prey, enabling the venom to flow easily. This would also work on another komodo dragon.

Dragons are magical mystical creatures. But in books, movies they normally have large wings covered in scales, sharp teeth and breathe fire. Also they are nromally red. Just look up a kamodo dragon (real animal) which is a reptile i think and imagine that with wings.

Komodo dragons are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat. :p

Komodo dragons seem to hunt, when they are hungry. But I watched a television show just recently, and some people believed in that particular country that when a Komodo Dragon attacks a human it is normally their destiny. I particularly like the Komodo Dragon, even though it has a poisonous tongue and vicious claws and tails.

No, they are just endangered. They are mostly endangered because the food on komodo island is becoming extinct so komodo dragons don't have anything to eat so they die or eat their friends.

The function of any skeleton is support and leverage for muscles. If you watch a house being built, you will notice that they use 2 X 4's as framework. This can be called the skeleton of the house.

they live inside people's hosues! escape from your house or they will come and eat you!

Komodo dragons, though large and fearsome, face many dangers. One of the main reasons for their declining population is the fact that they live in areas constantly beset by natural disasters such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis. Natural disasters diminish numbers of the dragons' prey, leaving them with less food. Illegal poaching of Komodo dragons and their eggs has also resulted in fewer dragons remaining alive, while human encroachment leading to habitat destruction has resulted in less shelter for komodo dragons.
