A few years ago, there was a moral loss of this creature by India's three brothers, do you know if you have heard of it? [Flash]
The Komodo dragon is a giant lizard that was originally discovered on the island of Komodo in Indonesia. Adult male Komodo dragons are about 3 meters long and weigh 136 kilograms. On their rough skin, there are many raised bumps, their bodies are scaleless, black-brown, and their mouths are full of large, sharp teeth. Komodo dragons run extremely fast and are extremely ferocious when pounce on their prey. At the same time, the huge and powerful long tail and pointed claws are important "tools" for its hunting. Komodo dragons feed mainly on carrion of animals, and sometimes prey on wild boars, deer, monkeys and other animals on the island. In addition, Komodo dragons are also very good swimmers, with a special ability to dive into the water to fish and dive for tens of minutes.
The Komodo dragon is an ancient creature and has a long lifespan, probably living for about a hundred years. They prefer to live in holes between rocks or tree roots. The Komodo dragon has a fierce temperament, and only ferocious saltwater crocodiles have been recorded to have preyed on it. The saliva of the Komodo dragon contains a variety of highly septic bacteria, so even if the prey it attacks escapes, it will quickly fail and die due to sepsis caused by the wound, and the escaped prey becomes a delicacy in the mouths of other monitor lizards. Usually, older and larger monitor lizards in a group of Komodo monitor lizards have the privilege of eating first.
When feeding, they hit young lizards with their strong tails, keeping them out of access to food. Like many lizards, the Komodo dragon's tongue is responsible for both taste and smell. Its tongue moves in and out, searching for odor molecules in the air. Therefore, when Komodo dragons look for food, they always shake their heads and stick out their tongues, and they can smell carrion within 1,000 meters by relying on their keen olfactory organs. Typically, they feed on the carrion of those animals that have died, but occasionally attack and harm humans and other animals.
Komodo dragons have a lot of toxins in their saliva, Komodo dragons' diet is mainly scavenging, Komodo dragons have shorter necks, their larger nostrils can better capture odor molecules in the air, Komodo dragons' larger eyes make it have good eyesight.
For those Indian brothers, I don't know what everyone thinks? It was able to do anything to this creature (hehehehaha). The author can only say that such people are difficult to find in ancient and modern times!
