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.

The same way other lizards do, by moving the forelimbs and rearlimbs. The left front and right rear limbs move forward, while the right front and left rear limbs remain stationary. Then it is the turn of the left front and right rear limbs. As a result, their bodies flex from side to side as they walk or run. In fact, the way they move on land is similar to the way fish swim.
