Lizard: Komodo dragon
The Komodo dragon‘s name alone is an indicator of this lizard’s power and physical characteristics: It’s dark and scaly, extremely strong, and uses a long, thin forked tongue to test the air for signs of nearby prey. At maturity, a Komodo dragon weighs 154 pounds on average, though the largest confirmed specimen was more than twice that size. Found in Indonesian Islands, the Komodo dragon can both eat 80% of its own body weight in one meal, and empty its stomach at will in order to reduce its weight and escape danger more quickly.
