Komodo Dragon

Yes. Komodo dragons are carnivores. Although they eat mostly dead animals they will also ambush live prey. When suitable prey arrives near a dragon's ambush site, it will suddenly charge at the animal and go for the underside or the throat. It is able to locate its prey using its keen sense of smell, which can locate a dead or dying animal from a long distance. Komodo dragons have also been observed knocking down large pigs and deer with their strong tail.

No, from the Megalania Prisca.

Internal.

The tongue of the komodo dragon is shaped like y so it can get a better sense of smell

by the time animal becomes aware of any danger,it is too late.

Komodo dragons can become up to 10 feet!

there are MANY differences between komodo dragons and real dragons. komodo dragon are ten feet in length. a dragon is about 40 feet. a komodo is 3 feet tall. dragons are 20.a komodo has no wings, spines,horns or spade. a dragons has all of that. theres much more but that some of the basics.

Komodo Dragons can sleep for about 12 hours a day in self-dug burrows, natural cavities (caves) and overhanging vegetation.

Basically solitary, but will gather in numbers at a large kill or some other food source.

They generally don't-- Komodos are typically very solitary except in mating season, and even then, they don't tend to enjoy each other's company much.

The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang.

You can find a map where dragonflies live at most local libraries. You can also find a map of where dragonflies live in many insect books.

Fossils of Komodo dragons have been dated to a little less than 4 million years ago.

The Komodo dragon has a very venomous bite. For years it was believed that the danger of a Komodo dragon's bite was due not to venom, but to bacteria that live on its teeth.

More recent research, however, has discovered that 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. The venom can only enter the body through an open wound.

yes they can

4000-5000 in the wild. There are about 300 in captivity.

Komodo dragons do not have a particularly keen sense of smell in their nose. However, a Komodo dragon has a special organ in the roof of its mouth called a Jacobson's organ, which senses chemicals in the air. This sense of smell allows Komodo dragons to detect carrion from up to 2.5 to 5.9 miles away.

Only about three thousand Komodo dragons are let in the world because all of these reasons the largest threat to the Komodo dragon is the volcanic activity. The volcanic activity causes loss of the lizard's prey,plus causing deaths and loss of the dragons. Another threat is the villagers that live close to the komodo dragons. The villagers are reducing the population by poisoning carrion and then throwing it where the lizards will get and then killing the lizards by poison. They are also endangered because of tourism in the Sunda and Komodo Islands and because of illegal poaching. There are about 5000 dragons in the wild and only 350 of them are breeding females. The Komodo dragon is the king of its food chain, and if this lizard goes extinct it would collapse a whole food chain causing more extinctions.The Komodo dragon has no predators expect the human. The Komodo dragon can and will kill anything if needed and is one of the most powerful reptiles in the world.dragons are known to eat as much as their body weight worth of food and they can survive for weeks without having to eat anything. Their teeth are about 1 cm long and they resemble the teeth of a shark. They have been known to attach humans are rarely kill them. Even for their size they are fast and agile with a speed of 20 MPH. The Komodo Dragons have been on earth for about 40 million years or more. The Komodo dragon's salvia contains 50 different types of bacteria and 7 that are fatal. The Komodo dragon is at the top of its food chain making it more dangerous.

No, Komodo dragons only live on the island of Komodo which is in the Southern Hemisphere.

i think a komodo dragon is a smelly nappy baby

go to komodo island,indonesia

I don't think so- they are a protected species, but there is no programme to increase their population either as they are not on the highly endangered list, and are also dangerous to humans so no-one would want too many of them about the place!

Komodo dragons are named komodo dragons because even though they don't have wings, their dragon-ish body makes them take on the appearance of a dragon. Komodo comes from the island they originate from.

Komodos aren't that poisonous.

If it bites you, then it's bad, because then you get the saliva into an open would and into the blood stream.

This is certain pain, but not certain death. Good medical care and antibiotics has a good chance of saving you. All depending on the severity of the bite, and time from bite to treatment of course.

But if it only were to lick your (unbroken) skin, or drool on you, you'd be OK. Although washing it off as soon as possible would be a smart thng to do.
