Kimodo Dragon. Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis), also known as Komodo Monitor, is the largest known living lizard on Earth found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. Ten years ago, scientists believed Komodo dragons had saliva laden with really deadly bacteria, and that bites containing the spit were potent enough to bring down a water buffalo.
They sometimes dig burrows to sleep in at night, but they aren't very territorial about their burrows. The Komodo Dragon is a large species of lizard that is only found on a handful of islands in the Indonesian archipelago. Captive komodo dragons may often weigh more.
