Komodo Dragon
Varanus komodoensis
Adult Komodo dragons patrol dry savannas, monsoon forests, beaches, and riverbeds on a few Indonesian islands. They ambush deer, pigs, water buffalo calves, and other prey, and they readily scavenge carrion with a powerful sense of smell. Their serrated teeth and venomous bite help weaken prey through blood loss and shock. A notable fact is that females can reproduce by parthenogenesis when males are absent.
