Random Komodo Dragon Facts

I could not decide what I should write another post about Komodo Dragons on so I decided to do a bunch of random facts about the Komodo Dragon. This should be weirdly interesting ...

• Komodo Dragons rule supreme on their islands, as there are no other carnivores that fill the neccessary dominant role.




• Komodo Dragons are also known as Komodo Monitor, but this is quite rare.




• To the natives of Komodo, Komodo Dragons are called now, which means''land crocodile''




• Even though Komodo dragons have large, visible Earhole, they do not have a very good sense of hearing. (400-2000 Hz)




• The Komodo Dragon's teeth can measure up to a whole inch in length.



• The expidition to Komodo (Post 4) was the inspiration for the movie,''King Kong'', however the giant lizard was changed to an ape, I bet you did not know that.


• The latest victim to be killed by a Komodo dragon was in March 2009, when Muhammad Anwar fell from a tree, when he suffered from massive bites to his hands, legs, body and neck.


• Komodo Dragons usualy can live anywhere between 20 to 40 years.
• During mating season, females can lay up to about 30 eggs.
• There are between 3000 to 5000 Komodos left in the wild.
• In the wild, K0modo Dragons are generally solitary creatures, apart from mating season of course.

Well, in tis post, I have surpassed the 1000 mark word. That completes my requirements for my Environmental Studies project, but do not worry, I will hopefully be able to publish more posts on this blog if I get any comments encouraging me to. So thank you very much for reading.
