Do you know what the largest lizard is? This lizard is called komodo. It
lives in the scrub and woodland of a few Indonesian islands.
Komodo dragon is the world's heaviest lizard, weighing 150 pounds or
more. The largest Komodo ever measured was more than 10 feet (3 meters) long
and weighed 366 pounds (166 kg) but the average size of komodo in the wild is
about 8 feet (2.5 meters) long and 200 pounds (91 kg)
Komodo has gray scaly skin, a pointed snout, powerful limbs and a
muscular tail. They use their keen sense of smell to locate decaying animal
remains from several miles away. They also hunt other lizards as well as large
mammals and are sometimes cannibalistic.
The Komodo dragon's teeth are almost completely covered by its gums.
When it feeds, the gums bleed, creating an ideal culture for virulent bacteria.
The bacteria that lives in the Komodo dragons saliva causes septicemia, or
blood poisoning, in its victims. A dragon will bite its prey, and then follow
it until the animal is too weak to carry on.
This lizard species is threatened by hunting, loss of prey species and
habitat loss.

her house. Then she prayed to God. “If a man picks up my quilt, he will be my
husband. If a woman, she will be my sister.” Then a male dog picks it up. For
