Komodo dragons are the largest lizards on the planet, and they’re a type of monitor lizard. They usually weigh about 155 pounds, but the largest was over 365 pounds and measured 10.3 feet in length.
They’ll eat virtually any kind of animal, alive or dead. They’ll eat small lizards and birds when they’re young, but eventually, they graduate to monkeys, goats, boars and deer. They’ve even been known to eat each other. Fortunately, attacks on humans are rare.
