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

Dintlha

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

Ho senya ditshomo

Tshomo: Komodo dragons are deaf.

Nnete: 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
