Komodo Dragon Facts
|
| The Komodo Dragon is a true prehistoric thowback,
having been around since the Jurassic period. Komodos are carnivores,
or meateaters, and usually stay near the open and arid coastal savannahs
on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca. Komodo dragons
spend most nights inside small caves that they have dug. Female Komodo
Dragons will lay about 28 eggs at a time when ready for nesting.
Full-grown Komodos may reach a length of 10 ft. The Komodo Dragon
has stong claws and very sharp teeth. It can run quickly and is extremely
strong. Komodos often capture and eat small deer, wild pigs and even water
buffaloes. |
