Komodo Dragon
The Komodo Dragon is the world’s largest living lizard and a true apex predator. Native to a few Indonesian islands, including Komodo, Rinca, and Flores, these powerful reptiles can grow up to 3 metres long and weigh over 70 kilograms.
Armed with sharp claws, strong jaws, and a toxic bite, Komodo Dragons are formidable hunters capable of taking down prey as large as deer and water buffalo. They use stealth, patience, and explosive bursts of speed to ambush their targets, followed by a venomous bite that prevents blood clotting.
Despite their fearsome reputation, Komodo Dragons are vulnerable in the wild due to habitat loss, poaching, and human encroachment. At Crocodiles of the World, we proudly care for this legendary species, offering a rare chance to learn about their behaviour, biology, and the urgent need for their conservation.
