Female Komodo dragons face challenges in finding suitable nesting sites and protecting their eggs from predators. Only a small percentage of hatchlings survive to adulthood.
Lifespan of Komodo Dragons
Komodo dragons have a lifespan of around 30 years in the wild. Factors such as food availability, injuries, and competition for resources can affect their longevity.
