KOMODO DRAGON THE DEADLIEST

INTRODUCTION:

Face the deadliest Predator,Yes the Komodo dragon!The largest living specie of lizards in the world and ofcourse the great killer.This powerful and mascular reptile rules the

dry volcanic island of central Indonesia.Its size can go up to ten feet in length and weight up to three hundred and fifty pounds.Its favorite preys are deer, pigs,wild
horses,water buffalo and anything that it can overpower.Its hunting stretagies are almost depends upon opurtunities of taking chnaces,it uses cover in shades of
bushes,deep pits and behind long grass and attacks its prey suddenly that the prey gets nowhere to go.

HUNTING STRETEGY:

When it comes to teeth, the komodo is like no other lizard.Other lizards have simple peg like teeth but because of heavy and hard diet,Komodo have its own unique killing
weapon known as 'monster bite'.Definitely you think why this called as 'monster bite' its because the Komodo dragon’s saliva is full with bacteria (its saliva has fifty strains of
virulent bacteria),making a single bite lethal.Using this amazing feature,the komodo catches the prey then make the deadly monster bite.After that,it just has to wait for

poison to do its work.Komodo cannot run fast,but they have a great sense of smell.The komodo can smell its dead hunt flesh from the distance of about two miles and can
easily find the prey that is dieing from deadliest bite.Once the wild style feeding begins and the dragons start to eat, we can notice another unique thing about these lizard's
teeth.Their teeth are made to cut off huge pieces of flesh.Their mouth is more like a shark’s mouth than a lizard’s. Their teeth have razor sharp cutting edges like that of
circular saw.Their jaw is full of these saw like teeth,they have up to sixty teeth like that,which allow the great komodo dragons to tear apart their prey in no time.komodo

dragons have the special ability to recreate their broken teeth which breaks in catching prey or eating hard bones.In the meantime,just like a shark the komodo dragon has
rows of teeth one after another packed into the jaw.This means when one tooth falls it will replaced with the tooth behind it.Definitely the komodo dragon is one of earth's

most powerful and dangerous predators but they are no match for earth's greatest predator 'Man'.Just a few thousands of this great monster creatures remain in the wild only
becaue of poaching,loss of prey,and loss of habitat.Those who survive all these disasters are a reminder of nature’s brutal power.A power that has evolved over one hundred
million years.The Komodo dragon has make all of these years on savage skill alone, proving that the dragons bite is far worse than its bark.

PREFERABLE DIET:

Komodo dragons are for sure carnivorous but some know that they are also cannibalistic (those who eat people man eater).They usually eat large and big prey such as

deer,wild boar,goat.They basically eat anything they can dominate and this includes smaller lizards (including other Komodo Dragons).As we know, Komodo Dragon has
wide range possibility of prey.These lizards have a list of preys as their main servings of meal.From the droppings, humans are able to observe that the deer is the meal of
choice.Boars are also popular choice.Dragons acquire these animals by two ways: hunting, and finding dead remains.

SPECIAL FEATURE OF KOMODO DRAGON:

TOUCH :

Dragons have a special body armour like other reptiles that called as scales.There skin is covered with these scales its difficult for them to feel anything.This is why
dragons have special (sensors like spots) that are sensitive to touch.These spots are connected directly to nerves.These sensors are on every scale.The scales around the
ears,the lips,chin,and the bottom of the feet have at least 3 or more plaques.

BABY KOMODO DRAGONS:

The moment a Komodo Dragon is born it is left to fight for itself. At this time,the dragon is only about eight to twenty two inches long.The baby dragons look very different
from adult dragons and that's not only because of their size.The four ounce weighted dragon baby has sharply and brightly colored.It is greenish black and white with yellow
stripes like tecture.It also has small reddish circles around its body and alternating dark and light bands round its tail.These designs help to conceal the dragon in the shade
of the trees,where it will hide for its first year or two of life.
