The Komodo dragon is a very large lizard, and it is the biggest lizard alive today. It lives on a few small islands in Eastern Indonesia, where it hunts deer and pigs and sits at the top of its food chain. Adults occasionally attack people, so it is a dangerous animal to keep your distance from.1

Če ugrizne

Rano umij, poškodovanca pomiri in poišči zdravniško pomoč.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
Če te ugrizne: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard, and its size is unusual among reptiles.1

Its teeth are replaced about every 40 days, and it has up to five replacement teeth for each tooth position at any time.1

Fossils show that Komodo dragons once lived in Australia, where they existed alongside megalania, the largest land lizard ever.1

The 1926 expedition by W. Douglas Burden inspired the 1933 film King Kong.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: Komodo dragons are deaf.

Resnica: They were once thought to be deaf, but a London Zoo keeper trained one to come to her voice even when she was out of sight. They hear low-pitched sounds, roughly between 400 and 2,000 hertz.1
