Komodo dragons are solitary animals that usually live alone or with mates. During the mating season, male Komodo dragons will roar to attract females, who then mate. Female Komodo dragons generally lay eggs every 2-3 years, with between 10-30 eggs per laying. Young Komodo dragons leave their mothers and live alone after birth.

The Komodo dragon population on Komodo Island is gradually declining, mainly due to the destruction of its living environment, illegal hunting and the impact of human activities. In order to protect this rare animal, the Indonesian government has taken a series of measures, including the establishment of nature reserves and the prohibition of illegal hunting. In addition, there are many international organizations actively involved in the conservation of Komodo dragons, hoping to protect this precious biological resource and allow them to continue to exist on Earth.
