The Komodo Dragon is an enormous reptile that can grow up to three meters long and weigh 150kg. Population decline has led to these lizards listed on the IUCN’s Red List, providing this species some legal protection. Komodo Dragons are in severe danger of extinction in their natural environments as climate change, habitat loss, and a shortage of prey. These lizards are not only the largest lizard in the world, but it also one of the most aggressive and dangerous, so powerful that it is able to take down prey many times its own size. Not known to the world until the First World War, the Komodo Dragon is actually a species of Monitor Lizard that evolved in island isolation for millions of years.


The Komodo Dragon is a large species of lizard that is only found on a handful of islands in the Indonesian archipelago.
