They are quite the guzzlers!Īfter eating so much they must rest awhile, like this one who is taking a nice long nap. They can eat up to 80% of their own weight in a single meal. When they bite their prey, the wound rapidly becomes infected and kills them.

They have close to 60 razor sharp teeth which they use to tear apart their victim’s flesh. They are carnivorous and their jaws are wide, strong and extremely powerful. When they are adults they can grow up to 3 meters in length and weigh more than 90 kilos. The komodo dragon’s bodies are covered by hard thick scales which protect them from all sorts of dangers.

These large reptiles, like all other reptiles, are born from eggs, like these tiny crocodiles.

Komodo dragons were discovered in 1910 on some remote Indonesian islands, and although they don’t breathe fire or fly, they are indeed very dangerous animals. Today we are going to learn about the largest lizard in the world…the Komodo dragon. Hello friends and welcome to a new Happy learning video.
