Wanna guess where in Indonesia you’ll find Komodo Dragons?
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Actually, you’re only partially right. They can also be found on the islands of Flores, Gili Motang, and Rinca.
With no competition and a steady supply of prey, the dragons are able to grow to staggering proportions. Komodos Dragons are the largest species of monitor lizard, growing over 10’ and weighing up to 300 pounds. This is typically the part of the article where we would talk about how they hunt and all the gross bacteria festering in their enormous mouths, but we’re not going to. There is actually quite a bit of debate about whether or not the traditional wisdom is actually accurate or not. Either way, if you’re bitten by one, which you really should avoid at all costs, head to the hospital to get yourself checked out ASAP.
