Komodo dragon

The Komodo dragon. These lizards can weigh up to 155 pounds (double that in captivity). They are the heaviest and biggest lizard in the world. They can grow to almost 10 feet long! That is ridiculous. That's as deep as the swimming pool we swim at. They live on some islands of Indonesia. They can stand up using their tail to support them. They can smell blood 3 miles away. They eat freshly killed and dead animals. Adults can bring down deer, wild pigs and water buffalo. They can live up to 40 years. I've seen some in zoos. They are pretty big and scary looking.
