Answer : KOMODO DRAG ON
Komodo merupakan kadal terberat dunia, dengan berat 150 pound atau
lebih. Komodo terbesar yang pernah diukur lebih dari 10 kaki (3 meter)
panjang dan beratnya 366 (166 kg) tetapi ukuran rata-rata komodo di alam
bebas adalah sekitar 8 kaki (2,5 meter) panjang dan 200 pound (91 kg)
Komodo memiliki kulit bersisik abu-abu, moncong runcing, kaki yang kuat
dan ekor berotot. Mereka menggunakan rasa tajam penciuman mereka untuk
menemukan sisa-sisa hewan yang membusuk dari beberapa kilometer
jauhnya. Mereka juga berburu kadal lainnya serta mamalia besar dan
kadang-kadang makan daging manusia.
Gigi komodo yang hampir seluruhnya tertutup oleh gusi nya. Ketika feed,
gusi berdarah, menciptakan budaya ideal untuk bakteri mematikan. Bakteri
yang hidup di air liur komodo menyebabkan keracunan septicemia, atau
darah, dalam korbannya. Seekor naga akan menggigit mangsanya, kemudian
ikuti sampai hewan terlalu lemah untuk melanjutkan.
spesies kadal ini terancam oleh perburuan, hilangnya spesies mangsa dan
hilangnya habitat.
