Komodo Dragon

It would be beneficial to search for a weather website instead of asking random joe.

The chances you find a weather forecaster and they are monitoring the weather with a program when they read this question are very high.

Komodo Dragons' eggs are twice as big as a chicken egg, and weigh about 125g.

There is no threat to the cockroach. They would survive a atomic bomb ( the IRS right along with them)

The Komodo dragon has a very dangerous bite, and it is venomous (not poisonous).

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. 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 discovery of venom glands in the Komodo dragon challenges the previous assumption that fatal bites were due to the consumption of carrion (rotting things), and the resultant growth of toxic bacteria in the mouths of the lizards. Infections by these organisms would still be a serious factor in treating a bite wound. Komodo dragons do not usually attack people, preferring other game such as deer. But there are documented cases of them stalking and killing human beings.

As a lizard the Komodo dragon is not particularly closely related to dinosaurs. Alligators and birds are more closely related to alligators. Because lizards (including komodo dragons) exist on a separate branch from the dinosaurs they are no more closely related to one dinosaur than they are to another.

A komodo dragon is a lizard, most closely related to the monitor lizards.

cheetah wins that race versus komodo dragon.

It depends on who he had for lunch!!

it protects itself by using its unnatural size to scare the enemy or he might bite them or jump on them with its size the mouth of the dragon is very nast and you can catch a diese fromit

green/gray
Adult Komodo dragons are greenish-gray to black in colour. They also have yellow and black spots on its freckled skin. Young juveniles are yellow or green in colour. However these reptiles do undergo a colour change during their life time. It is a sign of maturity and fully grown up adults have a greenish earthen colour. They also have a forked tongue similar to snakes that's yellow in colour. Hope this helps!:-)

It is commonly believed that the Brazilian wandering spider is the most poisonous spider, there have been over 7000 recorded bites. If a person is bitten by this species there is a good chance that death will occur. However, the black widow spider, the brown recluse spider and the tunnel web spider, are also very poisoness. == ==

Previous theories about how Komodo dragons kill their prey have been proven to be false.

For many years, it was believed that Komodo dragons killed their prey by biting them, which would inject bacteria into the wound. The prey would not die immediately, but usually within two days, during which the Komodo dragon would continue to follow it, until it died. After all, according to the National Geographic, the saliva of the Komodo dragon carries between 50 and 80 different types of bacteria. However, scientists were sceptical about this theory, as the short time it took prey to die was inconsistent with the amount of time normally taken for bacteria to cause death.

More recently, scientists have discovered that the bite of the Komodo dragon delivers a powerful venom which thins the blood if its prey, increasing blood flow and creating a state of shock in the victim. The gaping wound caused by the Komodo dragon's sharp teeth enable the venom to flow more easily.

The biggest Komodo dragon was 10 feet and weighed 466pounds.

Komodo dragons live on some of the island of Indonesia. Those islands consist of: Komodo, Flores, Rinca, Motang, Gili, and Padar.

komodo dragon compete with other komodo dragon for food

with their eyes shut and on the ground

YES!!!!! a komodo dragon has so many bacterias that it will rott your flesh off in two days time. so i would stay away from them!!!!!

Komodo dragons have thrived in the harsh climate of Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands for millions of years. The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) would probably eat a tiger should they ever meet. One bite from the komodo results in a slow and certain death (over several days) due to the bacteria in the komodo's saliva.

Baisicly anything thet they sink their teeth into they'll eat it,including humans.A komodo dragon has a lot of bacteria in it's mouth,if you where bitten and managed to escape,you would still die from a massive infection.

Komodo dragons do not live in groups. However, they often gather in large groups to feed on a single carcass.

There are actually very few similarities between the komodo dragon and the fictitious creature known as a dragon. They both breathe using lungs, but the fictitious dragon breathes out fire whereas the komodo dragon breathes ordinary air. The komodo dragon has scaly skin, whereas a dragon is generally believed to have scales.

It depends on the prey animal. With small animals, they simply 'grab and chew' to inject toxins into their prey. With something as large as a buffalo, they'll usually group together and 'gang-up' on the animal. One or two bites to the leg will create an open wound, which rapidly becomes infected from bacteria in the lizard's saliva. They simply follow the animal (sometimes for days) until it collapses from the infection.

Komoto Dragons are alive they just live on an island which is the Komoto Island.

It has been said that KOMODO DRAGONS can eat up to 8 pounds(or more) of food a day and they will eat virtually any thing that moves. It also includes their own and carcasses. it has powerful jaws so that it can break whatever part of its food it bites instantly. the other name for the KOMODO DRAGON is ORA.
