Description
This is my first time capture of this Komodo Dragon at Toronto Zoo. According to the reference article online, Komodo Dragon is the largest living lizard. The largest verified specimen reached a length of 10.3 feet (3.13 m) and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg). Komodo Dragon can run briefly at speeds up to 13 mph (20 kph), its hunting strategy is based on stealth and power.
When hunting, Komodo dragons rely on camouflage and patience, lying in wait for passing prey. When a victim ambles by, the dragon springs, using its powerful legs, sharp claws and serrated, shark-like teeth to eviscerate its prey.
Dragon saliva teems with over 50 strains of bacteria, and within 24 hours, the stricken creature usually dies of blood poisoning.
