The Komodo dragon is a very large species of lizard. People call this animal the Komodo monitor. It lives on a few Indonesian islands. These islands include Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar.
This animal belongs to the monitor lizard family. It is the largest living lizard species in the world. In rare cases, it grows up to 10 feet long. It can weigh around 150 pounds.
The Komodo dragon has a tail as long as its body. It has about 60 serrated teeth. The lizard replaces these teeth frequently. The teeth can grow up to one inch long.
Gums almost completely cover these teeth. The teeth cut the gums during feeding. Because of this, the lizard often has bloody saliva. It has a long, yellow tongue that is deeply forked.
