kind still in existence. Adult Komodos typically grow to a length of nearly 10 feet and weigh as much as 200 pounds, with some hefty specimens tipping the scale past the 300-pound mark.
Instead, Komodo dragons have evolved to play the long game, relying on what’s transmitted in their bite to eventually do their dirty work. Komodos have infamously horrible, acrid, eye-wateringly bad breath, and for a good reason. They use their forked tongue to sample odors in the air . In this way, the dragons can smell a dead or dying animal from miles away. Since Komodos have no problem eating carrion, it’s simply a matter of following the smell to its source and chowing down on the decaying carcass — although at that point, they usually have to share the meal with other Komodos, who have also followed the scent.But once they get hold of food, they can put a lot of it away in one sitting.
