4. Komodo Dragon Central Tintin and komodos. I believe that my first exposure to the Komodo dragon wasfrom reading Flight 714, one of the lesserknown of Hergé s Tintin adventures. http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/komodo/tintin.html

Back to Komodo Dragon Central The Herge Foundation, official site. Tintin and Komodos I believe that my first exposure to the Komodo dragon was from reading Flight 714 Flight 714 was the second-to-last Tintin. The French edition (unavailable to me) was published in 1968. Flight 714 is a peculiar Tintin. For starters, Captain Haddock doesn't get drunk once, and hardly screws up anything! Although there is considerable farce in the bedraggled millionaire Carreidas, adventure-story elements are prominent. Tintin and friends are spirited away to a small pacific island somewhere between Java and Australia where the people speak Indonesian. There is much gunplay, and though nobody gets shot there isn't any "I shoot your gun in two and make you angry" stuff either. Tintin and Captain Haddock wield submachine guns. More importantly, the narrative goes strangely awry at midpoint. In his later graphic novels, Herge grew bored with normal narratives and invented various ways of disrupting expectations. For example, the

back Komodo Dragon Varanus komodoensis Classification and Range Komodo dragons are also known as Komodo monitors, or by the local Indonesian name, "ora." These giant lizards belong to the family Varanidae, which includes 52 species of monitor lizards. All varanids belong to a single genus. Varanus includes very tiny lizards only a few inches long to the immense Komodo dragon. Komodo dragons live on four southeastern Indonesian islands in the Lesser Sunda region: Flores, Gili Motang, Komodo and Rinca. As recent as the 1970s, their habitat also included the island of Padar. If you like this animal and find it particularly fascinating you can adopt it! Habitat Komodo dragons inhabit hot, seasonally arid grasslands, savannas and monsoon forests. They live mostly in the lowlands, but have occasionally been found at elevations up to 1,967 feet (600 m). Physical Characteristics Male length: Commonly up to 9 feet (2.75 m) long, including tail, although the record is slightly over 10 feet (3 m).

8. Exhibit At Woodland Park Zoo They also eat wild boar, water buffalo, rats and many other animals including youngkomodos. Much of what komodos eat is carrion (already dead meat.) http://www.zoo.org/komodo/facts/diet.htm

F A Q Diet The Myth D i e t What do Komodo dragons eat? Meat, meat and more meat. Komodo dragons are strictly carnivorous. Adults eat more Sunda deer (Cervus timorensis, also known as Rusa deer) than anything else. They also eat wild boar, water buffalo, rats and many other animals...including young Komodos. Much of what Komodos eat is carrion (already dead meat.) Okay, what do young dragons eat, and how do they avoid being eaten? When they hatch out of their eggs, baby dragons are typically 12 to 15 inches long, and weigh less than 4 ounces (1/4 pound). For the first few years of their lives they spend much of their time up in the trees, to avoid being eaten by adult Komodos. During this time they mostly eat insects (especially grasshoppers and beetles) and smaller reptiles (especially geckos). At about 4 years old and 4 feet long, a young Komodo is large enough to (usually) escape its predatory elders, and has become too large to be safely supported by the smallish trees in the monsoon forest. For the rest of its life it will be primarily terrestrial. photo courtesty of Ron Magill Back to the adults: How do they catch their prey? And hey, what's this I hear about deadly saliva?

For one, they can rotate their arms inward and get up into a semierect position for moving quickly, and for another, they will hunt *cooperatively*. Not wolf or lion style, naturally, but several will get together to go after a sheep, apparently. I'll try to ask for the ref. If these guys have the brainpower to do it, there seems no reason that a few Allosaurus couldn't have gotten together to take down a sauropod, or a few dromaeosaurs to go after... well, anything they wanted to. Bakker claimed he'd got some tracks showing Allosaurs hunting cooperatively, too. Nick Longrich " There! Lectroids from Planet Ten by way of the Eighth Dimension!"

Komodo Dragon Submitted by Joshua Brookley American School of Kuwait Hawalli, Kuwait City, Kuwait Komodo Dragon Source: Honolulu Zoo Photographer: T.W. Description: The Komodo Dragon (Varanus Komodoensis), also called Ora by villagers of the island of Komodo, is the largest reptilian animal. Komodos usually have a greenish-brown color of scales. It grows from 23 cm in length at birth (from tip of tail to snout) to an adult size of 3 m. The weight of most males is about 175-200 lbs and the females usually weigh in about 150-160 lbs. but some Komodos have been over 300 lbs! The Komodos are carnivores with poisonous bites that eat large mammals, including humans. ! Just like all other varanids, monitor lizards, Komodo's have small heads, sturdy bodies and long, powerful tails. Usually varanids are either land predators or sea predators but the Komodo is a land and sea predator. There are about 5,000 Komodo Dragons alive today but only 350 of those are actually breeding females. Not that much is known about the Komodo Dragon because they were not discovered until the 1900's Environment: These magnificent creatures live in the Indonesian islands of Flores, Rintja, Pada, and Komodo, the main dwelling of these extraordinary creatures.
