The Komodo Dragon is the world's largest lizard. It can grow up to 10 feet long and weigh 300 pounds. The average life span is 20 years but it can live up to 50 years. The Komodo Dragon is found in the lowland areas on Komodo Island in Indonesia.

The Komodo Dragons are meat eaters. They prey on pigs, goats, deer, young buffaloes and even horses. This lizard can smell with its tongue.

The population of the Komodo Dragon is about 2,500 - 5,000. We can help to protect the Komodo Dragons from extinction by supporting the laws that prohibit the trade in these reptiles. We can also help them by protecting their habitat and pay more attention to their natural environments.
