The Komodo dragon is the biggest lizard in the world. They are carnivores who like to eat pigs, deer, snakes, fish and water buffalos. Adult Komodo dragons are cannibals and 10% of their diet is made of newly hatched Komodo dragons. Komodo has forked tongue (like snakes). It uses its tongue to detect a prey by smell. They can locate the prey that is 4 miles away using their sensitive tongues.
Zoo Keeper facts
In the wild they usually hunt during the day because they don't see well during the night. Other than that, Komodo dragons has poor sense of hearing. Komodo dragons can run 13 miles per hour.
Breeding
During reproductive season, female lays 15-30 eggs in the hole in the ground. Their eggs look like balloons filled with water. Baby lizards use "egg tooth" to crack the shell from the inside. They will live on the trees from the moment they are born because adult Komodo dragons can't climb and eat them.
