I would like to tell you about the komodo dragon.
Appearance:
Komodo dragons are about three metres long. Komodo dragons weigh 150 kg and they have really long tails.
Diet:
Komodo dragons like to eat deer, water buffalo, pigs and occasionally smaller komodo dragons.
Habitat:
Komodo dragons live in the lesser sunda Islands they love to live in burrows.
Special Features:
Komodo dragons are really great swimmers, have poisonous saliva, great climbing skills and can run up to 11 mph.
Life Cycle:
Females are ready to mate when they are 4-5 years old. A couple of months after mating, a female is ready to lay her eggs. She digs 4 or 5 holes about a meter deep. She lays 15-30 eggs in one of the holes. The eggs take 8-9 months to hatch and live up to 30 years or more.
I hope you have learnt about the komodo dragon.
