Diet
A Komodo Dragons beastly diet includes deer,
wild boar, goats and other large mammals! Komodo
Dragons will wait for hours on end for a meal to
pass by and when one does pass by they will
ambush them by charging at them with their deadly
jaws wide open.
Frightening fact Komodo Dragons sometimes eat
their young

Deadly Saliva

• The Komodo Dragon has a deadly weapon...
  poisonous saliva! This monstrous saliva sends a
  Komodo Dragons prey to a slow and painful death.
  First of all the Komodo Dragon bites the leg of
  its prey, injecting poison. Then follows the
  unfortunate victim until it dies. Afterwards the
  Komodo Dragon feasts on the dead carcass.

Revolting fact After a meal a Komodo Dragon lies
down in a sunny spot and regurgitates a pile of
horns, fur and teeth.

Habitat

• The Komodo Dragon is only found in Indonesia. The
  island that the Komodo Dragon lives on dries up
  completely between March and November but the
  Komodo Dragon is able to go for long periods
  without water.

Smell
A Komodo Dragon can smell its prey from up to
four kilometres away! It doesnt actually smell
with its nose, it smells with its tongue and
Jacobsons organ. It works like this, the tongue
picks up the smell and the Jacobson's organ
analyses it.
