How do Komodo Dragons kill people?
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.
What is a lizards closest relative?
Dinosaurs became extinct from starvation, they did not evolve into any other species who's descendants live today.
The closest thing you can get to naming an animal who were contemporary with dinosaurs are sharks, and alligators.
Is lizard a native Australian animal?
There is a great variety of both native and introduced animals in Australia.
Australia's most common native animals are marsupials. These are the pouched mammals (some pouches are nothing more than a flap of skin) and include:
- some sixty species of kangaroo, including wallaroo, potoroo, pademelon, rufous rat-kangaroo and wallaby (note: the rat-kangaroo is quite different to the kangaroo rat of North America)
- koala
- wombat
- possum (not opossum)
- glider
- potoroo
- bandicoot, including the bilby
- quokka
- quoll
- Tasmanian Devil
- phascogale
- dunnart
- cuscus
- bettong
- nabarlek
- numbat
- antechinus
- native hopping mouse
There are many marine mammals, including dolphins, and the very unique dugong, or sea-cow. The only placental mammals native to Australia are bats, of which there are over 80 species, bush rats and native hopping mice (rodents, not marsupials), of which there are several species. Dingoes are not truly native, not having originated here: they came with the Aborigines thousands of years ago, and for this reason are not necessarily considered to be truly native.
Monotremes (egg laying mammals) are also native to Australia. These include the platypus and the short-beaked echidna.
Native birds include:
- emu and southern cassowary, Australia's only flightless birds
- kookaburra
- budgerigar
- magpie
- lyrebird
- brush turkey
- friar bird
- little penguin
- bowerbird
- many varieties of lorikeets, rosellas and parrots, including the Sulphur-crested Cockatoo, Gang-Gang Cockatoo, corella, mulga parrot and the Galah
- Australia's most well-known native eagle is the Wedge-tailed Eagle. It is considered to be in the same "superspecies" as the Golden Eagle, but has some distinguishing characteristics (especially the shape of the tail).
There is a wide variety of native reptiles uniquely adapted to the country, such as:
- Thorny Devil
- Blue-tongue Lizard
- Frill-necked lizard
- goanna
- native geckos
- Saltwater or Estuarine crocodile
- Australia is also home to many of the world's most venomous snakes, such as the Inland Taipan, Death Adder, Mulga or King Brown, Red Bellied Black, Black Tiger, Copperhead, Gwardar, Collett's, Fierce, Eastern Tiger and Eastern Brown.
In addition, Australia has many introduced species, some of which cause massive damage to the ecology in Australia. The following is a list of animals that are of most concern to Australia's native flora and fauna.
- Cane toad (Bufo marinus)
- European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus)
- European red fox (Vulpes vulpes)
- Feral camel (Camelus dromedarius)
- Feral cat (Felis catus)
- Feral goat (Capra hircus)
- Feral horse (Equus caballus) and Feral donkey (Equus asinus)
- Feral pig (Sus scrofa)
- Feral water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
- European carp (Cyprinus carpio)
All domesticated pets, with the exception of some native birds such as finches, and various parrots such as budgies, cockatoos, cockatiels, Bourkes, etc, have been introduced into Australia. Non-native birds include Indian mynas, common starling, mallard and rock pigeon.
Do Australian frilled lizards bite?
All lizards are capable of biting. It really just depends on whether or not they have raised in captivity or like people. If so, you should have no problem as long as you don't stress out your lizard or hurt him.
What do dragon riders give their dragons to breathe fire?
Dragons breathe fire, ice shards, toxic gas, acid, lightning bolts, pure light, pure darkness, and lasers.
Dragons traditionally breathe fire, including Western-Asian dragon crossbreed hybrids. I know a dragon who can breathe ice, though, and full Asian dragons are said to breathe mist.
There are many types of lizards - over 3,800 species worldwide. Lizards diets vary. Smaller types of lizards are insectivores (insects, spiders), while other Lizards are herbivors (Galapogo's Island's Marine Iguanas). Spiny lizards are omnivors - both plants and small animals. While larger lizards (Gila Monster) are carnivores.
For those having a Lizard as a pet (Bearded Dragon) their diet will consist of crickets, grasshoppers, mealworms, earthworms, meaty dog or cat food, leafy vegetables, tomotoes, apples, pears, grapes, oranges, cooked pototoes, melon, peas, straberrries, carrots.

Is Texas horned lizard a reptile?
According to Texas Parks and Wildlife, "Texas horned lizards range from the south-central United States to northern Mexico, throughout much of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and New Mexico." I live in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, and I've seen several horned lizards here.
No. They like alive insects like a cricket. You can get crickets at a pet shop by the tube. If you are trying to feed your lizard worms run to get crickets. Make sure you have water and heat the inside of their aquarium for them. Also at the pet store you can buy a hot rock.
Why does mypomeranian hold her tail down and not over her back?
It's ok. The same thing happened to mine. It's tail might have been crushed and her tail is part of her spine. So take it to the doctors fast to take an x-ray. It might be broken. Or its not that much happy
:(
If you are asking about a mythical dragon, it really depends on which source you want to rely on. Some say they can live over a thousand years, five hundred years, one hundred years. . .Since nobody I know has had a chance to ask a dragon, you have to decide who you want to believe.
No. They usually eat fruit flies,waax worms,and mealworms. They will also eat vegetation around them too! Some lizards have been known to eat small mammals such as shrews, rats and mice!
Additional information:
In Australia, the goanna may eat young possums. Goannas have sharp claws and can climb straight up a tall gum tree to take young arboreal mammals which might have been separated from their mothers.
What do the dog and lizard have in common?
Ducks and geese are both waterfowls with webbed feet and they usually hang around ponds and sometimes near the grassy locations. They are both herbivores as well, though geese are known to eat earthworms and minnows sometimes when available.
What biome does a reptile such as a snake or a lizard live in?
