5 Interesting Facts About Komodo Dragons!

  • Komodo dragons are the world's largest lizards - adults can reach over 3 metres in length and weigh up to 70kg, making them apex predators on the Indonesian islands they inhabit.
  • They have a truly extraordinary sense of smell - their forked tongue collects scent particles from the air and delivers them to a special organ in the roof of the mouth, allowing them to detect prey from up to 9km away.
  • Komodo dragons can reproduce without a mate - females can produce fertile eggs through a process called parthenogenesis, giving birth to entirely male offspring without any male involvement.
  • Their saliva contains over 50 strains of bacteria, and they also have venom glands that prevent blood clotting in bitten prey - a combination that makes even a small wound from a Komodo dragon extremely serious.
  • Young Komodo dragons spend their first years living in trees to avoid being eaten by adults - they only come down to ground level once they're large enough to defend themselves.
