Komodo Dragon young adults move to new exhibit Scientific name Varanus komodoensis Common name : Ora, Komodo dragon, buaja darat (land crocodile) PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Komodo dragons are the world's heaviest living lizards. They can grow to a length of 10 feet (over 3 meters), with an average length of 8 feet (2.5 meters) and weight of 200 lbs (91 kg.). Females are usually under 8 feet and weigh about 150 lbs. (68 kg.). The Komodo dragon's keen sense of smell, if aided by favorable wind, enables it to seek out carrion up to 5 miles (8.5 kilometers) away. Despite its size, the Komodo is fast moving and agile. They can climb trees and like all monitor lizards they are good swimmers. Doc Their teeth are laterally compressed with serrated edges, resembling those of flesh-eating sharks. They have about 60 teeth that they replace frequently and are positioned to cut out chunks of its prey. The highly flexible skull allows it to swallow large pieces of its food. The Komodos mouth is full of virulent bacteria and even if its prey survives the original attack, it will die of infection later. In addition, recent research suggests that the Komodos have a venom gland which is more important in disabling their prey.

However, recent research suggests that the large size of komodo dragons may be better understood as representative of a relic population of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, along with other megafauna, died out after contact with modern humans.

For one, they can rotate their arms inward and get up into a semierect position for moving quickly, and for another, they will hunt *cooperatively*. Not wolf or lion style, naturally, but several will get together to go after a sheep, apparently. I'll try to ask for the ref. If these guys have the brainpower to do it, there seems no reason that a few Allosaurus couldn't have gotten together to take down a sauropod, or a few dromaeosaurs to go after... well, anything they wanted to. Bakker claimed he'd got some tracks showing Allosaurs hunting cooperatively, too. Nick Longrich " There! Lectroids from Planet Ten by way of the Eighth Dimension!"

The world's largest lizard species had previously been observed to reproduce only in the usual morn-and-pop way, explains Kevin Buley of the Chester Zoo in England. So, he and the staffat the London Zoo were surprised when, at each institution, a female with no access to males managed to have offspring. Genetic tests have verified that each female was the sole parent of her clutch, Buley and his colleagues report in the Dec. 21 Nature. Solo moms have turned up in only 70 vertebrate species. Mammals never reproduce this way, according to the scientific literature. A few reptiles
