Panda What animal will tear a hole in you if it's disturbed? The komodo dragon. This beast will eat anything from birds and rodents, to deer, wild boar and water buffalo including humans! Like many lizards, the komodo dragon uses its tongue to smell and can detect carrion from 5 miles away! The komodos lay up to 30 eggs and the incubation period is 7 months. The komodo dragon's babies live in trees until they are mature. Larger komodos rest in under ground burrows. The powerful komodo has no enemies except for man. These monsters can grow to a whopping 10 feet long and can weigh a killer 365 pounds. These killers live a long life of 50 years. Did you know that the komodo dragon can be found in 7 different countries? Also there are only 3,000 komodos left in the world. The giant komodo dragon is the smartest of all reptiles in the world. The komodo dragon was only discovered in 1912. An adult komodo will eat an entire deer at one time - then sleep for a week digesting it. Young komodos hatch from their leathery, goose sized eggs fully formed. The cause of the komodos being endangered is mainly because of habitat destruction. Another reason is that some farmers shoot komodos to protect their livestock. In order to help the komodos there are now parks with komodos on them and the parks allow tourists to watch the great komodo dragons.

Ze zegde haar baan op, verkocht het huis en auto en stalde de rest van hebben en houden in het huis van haar ouders. Door een eerdere vakantie in Singapore, Bangkok en Bali, was het verlangen gegroeid om voor langere tijd naar Azie te gaan. Dit groeide uit tot een wereldreis van zestien maanden door China, Hong Kong, Thailand, Maleisie, Singapore, Indonesië, de Filippijnen, Borneo, Australie en Nieuw-Zeeland. Na een jaar weer in Nederland te hebben gewoond, volgde een reis van drie maanden door Brazilie, Argentinie, Paraguay, Bolivie, Chili, Peru, Ecuador en de Galapagos. Reageren?

XYZ Komodo Starring: Billy Burke, Jillian Hennesey, Kevin Zegers Director: Michael Lantieri Synopsis: Giant lizards run amok in Jurassic Park style creature feature Reviewed by: Ali Khan "quote" Source "quote" Source Seen this movie? What did you think? Comments This creature feature, keenly awaited by The Hot Spot Team since reading of its production last year, finally saw its grand premiere in Paris. We were there throning the cinema along with multitudes of people to witness the Komodos taking their bow. Before starting the review and as part of some background it is important to point out that Komodo Dragons are not creatures of fantasy - in fact one called Fari lives just down the lane for us. They are in fact very much part of the animal kingdom today, inhabiting a small Indonesian island near Bali. And yes they do reach a length of 10 feet making them fearsome and formidable predators. The story sees Komodo eggs being dumped on a small island, we assume somewhere near mainland USA. Sometime later the eggs have hatched and the inhabitants have grown to their full size. They have also managed to devour a dog and the parents of a young boy right in front of his very eyes. As a result the boy suffers from post traumatic stress and in order to overcome this, his psychiatrist decides to take him back to the scene of the carnage.

A Komodo Dragon avoids the hot, tropical sun by finding shade under a tree. Giant Lizards You pause from hiking down the mountain to enjoy the sunset. Below lies a serene tropical beach and above a cloud forest. Around you are hills covered with savanna. In the ravines between the hills are monsoon forests. An amazing range of environments, you think to yourself, for an island only twenty miles long and ten miles wide. Suddenly from the thick grass nearby a buck bolts and runs across your path. You are startled, but soon recover. After all, it is only a deer, and in a few seconds your heart rate drops back to normal. Still, something is not right. You have the feeling you are being watched. A feeling of dread. The hairs on the back of your neck suddenly stand on end. But you don't see anything. Then you notice a smell. Unpleasant. Very unpleasant. You hear a sound in the nearby grass. You turn to look, and then it happens. The grass flies apart and something comes at you. Reptilian with cold, dead eyes. It's big. Very big. Twice your size from its ugly head to its massive tail and more than your weight. The creature's jaws open to display a set of inch-long serrated teeth dripping with deadly, infectious saliva.

San Francisco State University Department of Geography Geography 316: Biogeography In progress 5/20/99 bh The Biogeography of the Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) by Craig Jung, student in Geography 316, Spring 1999 photo source: Ciofi 1999 Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order:Squamata Family: Varanidae Genus:Varanus Species: V. komodoensis Description of Species: In Indonesia there is a type of lizard that can reach sizes that you may have thought only existed in fairy tales. These unique reptiles have been able to develop in an area where there is little for large animals to live on. They were there long before humans but like many organisms around the world they are subject to the growing human populations. These monitor lizards are known as Komodo dragons. The Komodo dragon, also known as Varanus komodoensis , may reach lengths of up to three meters and may weigh as much as 500 pounds. They have claws that may be as long as ten centimeters, teeth that operate like little scalpels and saliva that contains a deadly bacteria, staphylococcus (Cherrington, 1997). These monitors are known to be strong swimmers and may dive down to depths of 15 feet. Most importantly they possess great intelligence, displayed best when they hunt or search out their next meal. Habitat: Natural History: Komodo dragons are one of the largest carnivorous reptiles. These large lizards start out as hatchlings only a foot long. Young dragons live in the trees for protection from larger predators and adult Komodo monitors. Their diets consist of insects and small lizards. When they reach adolescence their diets may consist of rodents, birds, and large mammals occasionally. Adult Komodo dragons can take down large animals fifteen times their size, like water buffalo (

One scientist saw a 100-pound juvenile Komodo dragon eat a 66-pound wild boar in under 20 minutes. Photo courtesy of Jessie Cohen at Smithsonian's National Zoo. Komodo Dragon Varanus komodoensis: A really, really, really big lizard It's not always easy being the world's largest lizardespecially one who's just hatched. Young Komodo dragons spend most of their time hanging out in trees on the Indonesian islands where they live. Sure, they find lots of yummy stuff to eat there, like grasshoppers, beetles and smaller reptiles such as geckos, but the main reason they stay so high up is to avoid being eaten by adult Komodos. (In other words, "Hey ma, what's for dinner?" wouldn't be the greatest thing to ask!) If juvenile dragons can survive until they're about four feet in length, they're safe to ditch tree-top living and devote themselves to fully achieving their adult proportions of up to nine feet long and 550 pounds. That takes foodand lots of it! To kill their prey (deer, wild boar and water buffalo), Komodos lie in wait until an animal passes, then lunge and attack. The bite of a Komodo dragon is almost always deadly. Their saliva contains about 50 different kinds of bacteria that cause fatal blood poisoning, usually within a week. And you thought garlic breath was bad!

For Adults Komodo Dragon - Hunting The Land Of The Dragons The conditions are far from hospitable. Steep hills, rocky ground and shallow soil make up the landscape of the dragons' home. Fires and long droughts are common. Rain is sparse, averaging 800mm on a good year. Temperatures can reach 40-43degC after the dry season. In the harsh environment of these islands, food is not easy to come by. Reptiles have the advantage in the race for the top predator status under these conditions because they have a much lower total energy requirement than mammals. Adaptations to the habitat The Komodo dragon has many fascinating adaptations to survive in the harsh, rugged islands. The Komodo uses the food it eats very efficiently. They eat almost everything of their prey and extract almost all nutrition from what they eat. So they don't need to feed often. It appears that in the wild, the dragons eat very well about once a month. They only eat a few small tidbits between these larger irregular meals. In addition, the Komodo dragon can put away large quantities of food in a short time. In an environment where food is hard to come by, the Komodo dragon needs to eat as much as possible when it can. And it has to do this fast before other, possibly bigger Komodo dragons arrive at the scene. To swallow huge chunks of meat, like a snake, the dragon has movable joints in its skull and jaws that allow the lower jaw to be opened unusually wide. Its throat and jaw muscles allow it to swallow huge chunks of meat rapidly. The stomach also expands easily, allowing this huge intake of foodup to 80% of its starved body weight in one sitting! A 50kg animal is recorded to have consumed a 31kg pig in just 17 minutes!
