They can grow up to 10 feet (3 meters) long and weigh over 150 pounds (70 kg), making them the world's largest lizard.

Venomous Bite

Their saliva contains venom that lowers blood pressure, causes massive bleeding, and prevents clotting in their prey.

Apex Predator

At the top of their food chain, they hunt large prey like water buffalo, deer, and pigs using powerful ambush tactics.

Ancient Species

Fossil evidence suggests the Komodo dragon's ancestors appeared in Australia over 4 million years ago before migrating.

Protecting the Giants

Komodo dragons are classified as Endangered by the IUCN, facing threats from climate change, habitat loss, and a decline in their prey. Their survival depends on dedicated conservation efforts.

Organizations like the Komodo Survival Program and national parks are working tirelessly to monitor populations, protect their habitats, and educate local communities. By supporting these initiatives, we can help ensure these magnificent creatures continue to thrive.
