The komodo dragon is the smartest and biggest reptile on the planet. The grow to three meters long weighing 80 to 140kg. They can run up to 20 km per hour. They eat deer, boars and water buffalo. A poison saliva consisting of 50 different strains of bacteria kills bigger animals. Young komodo dragons are commonly eaten by bigger predators (including other komodo dragons). They live mostly in trees until they get to big when they live on the ground. They can swim. A Swiss guy was killed by a komodo dragon and all they found were his glasses and his camera.
