The world's largest living lizard is even more extraordinary than its reputation. Discover how Komodo dragons hunt, survive and rule their islands — and where to see them in the wild.
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is the largest lizard on earth, growing up to 3 metres long and 70 kilograms. Found only in Komodo National Park and a few neighbouring islands, it is an apex predator that has ruled these landscapes for millions of years — a living link to the age of giant reptiles.
Powerful, intelligent and surprisingly fast, dragons combine ambush hunting with a venomous bite. Yet they are also vulnerable: fewer than 4,000 remain in the wild, which is exactly why the park's protections matter so much. Here are the facts that make them so remarkable.
