Komodo Dragon
Vicious Predator

The Komodo dragon is a Carnivore. That means that it only eats meat. The Komodo dragon is also a predator. That not only means it just eats meat it also means it hunts and kills the meat it eats.
The Komodo dragon can eat its own wait. With larger animals like deer’s the Komodo dragon will slap them down with their strong tail and tear off meat as they hold on to the deer’s carcase. With animals like lambs the Komodo dragon with just eat whole (Bones and all).
If there is so an animal that is brave enough to kill and eat a Komodo dragon I would be very surprised. I am not positive but will all my research i could not find out what eats a Komodo dragon.
The Komodo dragon is in the same family as a lizard. The only difference is that the average male Komodo dragon is 3 meters long and weighs about 200 lbs. Their tails are as long as there body and they are no friendly to get up and personal with.

The Komodo dragon prefers to be in warm and dried out spaces. Some of the ecosystems you would find the Komodo dragon in are places like dry open grass ground, savannas and tropical woodland at low levels. For shelter they make holes with their huge claws and crawl into them for warmth.
