Bold body

Komodos are the largest lizards in the world! They can be 10 f.t long and 300 l.bs. They have strong jaws and sharp teeth. They can run 30 miles per hour. They also have sharp claws and pink tongues. The young ones have yellow speckles, while the older ones have red-gray skin.

What's on the menu?

Big Komodos eat small mammals, birds, goats, pigs, water buffalo, and carrion(and some of the time their own young!).The young ones eat insects. Komodos ambush their prey. They use their sharp claws and teeth to catch their prey, and sharp sense of smell to find prey up to 2.5 miles away. Also, they use the bacteria in their saliva to kill.
