The Survival Strategies of Komodo Dragons

Komodo dragons use their keen sense of smell to locate prey from miles away, relying on stealth and ambush tactics for successful hunts.

These formidable predators have bacteria-laden saliva that can cause deadly infections in their prey, ensuring a successful kill even if the initial attack is not fatal.

Komodo dragons are skilled climbers and swimmers, allowing them to access a variety of habitats and hunt a diverse range of prey, from birds to water buffalo.

Despite their size and strength, Komodo dragons face threats from habitat loss and human activities, leading to conservation efforts to protect these iconic reptiles.

The unique reproductive strategy of Komodo dragons involves parthenogenesis, allowing females to reproduce asexually in the absence of males, ensuring survival in isolated populations.
