General Description:

The Komodo dragon is the largest living species of lizard (growing to 2-3 metres) and found on islands throughout Indonesia. It is also quite venomous, and alongside the venom, carries a serious cocktail of harmful bacteria within its mouth. Komodo dragons tend to be apex predators in the environments that they live, and mostly survive on carrion; though they do hunt and eat pretty much anything they can catch (including children). They are one of the few vertebrates capable of ‘virgin births’ or producing offspring without the presence of a male; this is known as parthenogenesis.
