Komodo DragonKomodo Dragon: The Complete Guide to Biology, Behavior, Habitat, Hunting, and Conservation of the World's Largest Lizard (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798248363049)

The Komodo dragon is the largest living species of lizard known to science, surpassing all other extant reptiles within the order Squamata in body mass, length, and predatory dominance. Adult individuals commonly exceed two and a half meters in total length, with exceptional specimens approaching or surpassing three meters. Body mass varies according to sex, age, health, and prey availability, but large adult males often weigh over seventy kilograms, with some recorded individuals significantly exceeding this figure under optimal conditions. This immense size is not merely a superficial distinction; it underpins the species' ecological role, hunting strategies, physiological demands, and evolutionary importance.
