50+ Best Komodo Dragon Names

Komodo Dragons are the biggest lizards that have survived to our time, and in this, they were helped by the isolation of the island and the timely appearance of people.

The biggest of modern lizards – the Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis) – is a unique object of research. Suffice it to say that proteins are isolated from their blood, which can become an alternative to antibiotics in the fight against bacterial infections. The very existence of these ancient giant lizards remains amazing. The authors of a new article, published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, have sorted out an almost miraculous history of their survival.

Reaching a length of up to three meters and a mass of over 130 kilograms, the lizards are the dominant predators on Komodo and several neighboring small islands, sometimes even hunting buffaloes. At the same time, their homeland is to the south: paleontological data indicate that “dragons” appeared in Australia about four million years ago and lived side by side with even bigger relatives of Varanus priscus. Not so long ago, during the period of another cold snap and a decrease in the level of the World Ocean, some of them were able to move to the current Komodo. Here, on hard-to-reach patches of land, they were able to survive the appearance of a man who, having arrived in Australia about 50 thousand years ago, soon destroyed the continent’s megafauna.

Komodo Island is arid, not too fertile, and small, which is why there were no permanent settlements of people on it until relatively recently, which saved the lizards from extermination. In addition, cold-blooded lizards consume orders of magnitude less energy and can survive by spending a lot of time in a daze and feeding only from time to time. Apparently, survival was difficult: if necessary, the lizards went on to catch turtle eggs or simply ate each other. Finally, staying on such a limited diet, they were smaller. In the most difficult situations, females could produce offspring by parthenogenesis, without fertilization.

The present position and the gigantic size of the Komodo Dragons were largely contributed by the people who appeared here seven to ten thousand years ago. Not specializing in any particular prey, these predators easily switched to new prey – deer, pigs, and buffaloes introduced by humans. From that moment on, their sizes began to increase, and “dragons” occupied the niche that their ancestors once occupied in Australia – the niche of dominant predators, albeit on a tiny piece of land.
