They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle. Komodo dragons are cannibalistic, and adults will prey on young ones as well as old and sick dragons. Other dragons may make up to 10% of a dragon's diet. They have been known to stalk human beings.

Are komodo dragon males bigger than females?
baby komodo dragons soon after hatching must make a run for it towards the trees, if they cannot make it to the trees adult komodos will eat them. they must live in trees until they are big enough to defend themselves against the adults. are a more greenish color to blend into the trees. infant komodos make up nearly 10% of the adults diet. once they get large enough(usually a few years) they get on the ground and because they are still to small to defend themselves they will roll in feces so that they are not as apealing to the older komodos. so infants are slightly grener, live in trees, and roll in poo while adults are large brown and dont ...roll in poo.
Komodo dragons primarily use their tongues to "taste" their environment, which helps them detect scents and locate prey. Their tongues are forked, allowing them to gather chemical information from the air and ground. In addition to this, they may physically touch each other during social interactions or mating rituals, using their bodies and limbs to establish dominance or facilitate courtship. Overall, their sense of touch is complemented by their keen sense of smell.
