1. Komodo Dragon Basking Coloring PDF
As cold-blooded creatures, Komodo dragons need to make sure they bask in the sun to keep their body temperature warm and regulated. While Komodo dragons are found in Indonesia today, there’s actually evidence that shows that millions of years ago, they would have roamed the area that we know now as modern-day Australia as well.
2. Komodo Dragon Climbing Over A Fallen Tree
This Komodo dragon is climbing on a fallen tree as it explores. Komodo dragons don’t always move around at a fast pace, but it’s not because they can’t. They can run at speeds of up to 20km/h, and the average human can manage about 15km/h. So, you wouldn’t want one of them chasing you!

Seeing a Komodo dragon fight is something to behold! They are largely solitary creatures who don’t normally like to share territory.

Komodo dragons are skilled hunters who can take down large animals like deer. They do this by biting their prey with a powerful venom, then follow them while they wait for the poison to take them down. There is a misconception that Komodo dragons use strong bacteria in their mouths to poison their prey, but it’s only partly true, as the bacteria work with a neurotoxic venom in their saliva.

13. Komodo Dragon Opening Its Mouth
Open wide! When a Komodo dragon opens its mouth like this, it looks as if it has no teeth, but that’s far from the truth. They actually have sharp, curved teeth like a shark would have, and they’re merely hidden by their gums. You wouldn’t want to get bitten by one, not just because of the dangerous poison but also because of these rows of sharp teeth.
