Komodo dragon

Komodo dragons are the largest and heaviest lizards on Earth.

They have long, flat heads with rounded snouts, scaly skin, bowed legs, and huge, muscular tails.

Komodo dragons can eat almost anything, including invertebrates, birds, and mammals like deer, pigs, and even large water buffalo.

They have venom glands loaded with toxins which have been shown to secrete anticoagulants.

The venom lowers blood pressure, causes massive bleeding, and induces shock.

Conservation:

IUCN Status: Vulnerable.

CITES: Appendix I. (The commercial trading of live specimens or any parts, dead or alive of Komodo is prohibited.) Open / Comment
