Why
Komodo Island
is special

This modest sized island is home to about half the earth's remaining 4,000 Komodo dragons, the world's largest lizards. They measure up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length and can weigh up to 135 kilograms (300 pounds).

Komodo Dragons
are deadly - don't
get in their way

Some facts:

Prey

Komodo dragons hunt live animals including wild boar, deer and even large water buffalo.

Speed

A full-grown adult can run and swim faster than you can, though there is no confirmed account of a Komodo dragon killing a human being.

Bacterial weapon

If their powerful serrated-tooth jaws do not kill the prey, the deadly bacteria in their mouths eventually will.

Cannibalistic

The Komodo dragons also eat each other, given the need and occasions.
