 January, 1986. The Komodo dragon, a monitor lizard, Varanus komodensis, from Ko modo and adjacent Indonesian islands, is the largest lizard in the world. 86-1 3-02 The following is an excerpt from a web site- (http://komodo-national-park.com/facts.html) Komodo dragons are first and forem ost opportunistic carnivores, and predators second. Although the Komodo can sp rint briefly at 20 kilometers an hour, it does not chase down game as do the la rger mammalian predators. The Komodo is a stealth predator, which lies motionless an d camoflouged alongside game trails for the unwary, which tend to be the very y oung, the old and the infirm. In an attack, the Komodo lunges at its victim wit h blinding speed and clasps it with the serrated teeth of the jaw. Prey are rarely downed in the initial attack unless the neck is broken or caratoid artery severed. The more likely outcome is escape, followed by death a few hours or days later fro m septicemia introduced by the virulent strains of bacteria found in the saliva of the Komod o dragon (the Komodo survive primarily on carrion and ingest the bacteria when feeding). |
