Komodo Dragon

The Komodo Dragon is the largest living lizard and has been on the planet for millions of years, back to when dinosaurs roamed the earth. These creatures have razor-sharp teeth and bacteria-filled saliva that can kill most animals. They can reach 10 feet in length and weigh up to 300 pounds. They belong to the monitor lizard family, native to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang.
