Komodo dragons are large reptiles with long tails, strong necks, and robust limbs. They have golden tongues that are forked. Compared to adults, who have pronounced, large scales that are almost uniform in color, juveniles may have a more vibrant hue and pattern.

The Komodo dragon’s strong jaw and throat muscles enable it to consume vast amounts of ᴍᴇᴀᴛ with incredible rapidity. Many flexible joints, particularly the intramandibular hinge, allow the lower jaw to open incredibly wide. Due to the stomach’s capacity for growth, an adult can easily consume up to 80% of their own body weight in a single meal, which most likely explains some exaggerated accounts of huge weights in captives. When in peril, komodos have the ability to vomit the contents of their stomachs to shrink and run away.

The largest known Komodo dragon was 10.3 feet (3.13 meters) long and weighed 366 pounds (166 kilograms), compared to the average weight of 154 pounds (70 kilograms) for the species. Compared to females, guys frequently grow larger, heavier bodies.

Komodo dragons, which forage for animals or chase prey ranging in size from microsᴄᴏᴘic mice to enormous water buffalo, consume almost every type of ᴍᴇᴀᴛ. Young people typically eat snakes, small lizards, birds, and insects. If they remain alive after five years, they begin eating larger animals such as rats, monkeys, goats, wild boars, and deer (the most popular meal). At the pinnacle of their food chain, these reptiles are cannibalistic tertiary predators.
