Komodo Dragon Adaptations

• Komodo dragons are adapted to be powerful
  predators. These lizards can reach lengths of 10
  feet and weigh up to 300 pounds. They are only
  found living wild in Indonesia. They are very
  aggressive meat eaters and are known to take down
  animals as big as a deer. Their jaws work so
  hard that the Komodo dragon grows four new sets
  of teeth per year. The Komodo dragon has very
  deadly bacteria present in its saliva at all
  times. This bacteria is not harmful to the
  dragon, but if the dragon bites another animal,
  that animal will die of disease within a week.
  The dragon will often bite its prey and then lurk
  in the shadows until it dies. The Komodo dragon
  will then use its giant claws and powerful jaws
  to rip apart the prey, swallowing chunks of meat
  whole. One Komodo was recorded consuming 85 of
  its body weight in one sitting. There are only
  5,000 Komodo dragons living in the world.
