Wisely, you go to your room without another word to your parents. Once in your room, you sit on your bed and think: What do you know about Komodo dragons that might help you figure out where this particular dragon has gone?
- Komodo dragons usually live in the Komodo and Sunda islands south of Indonesia.
- Komodo dragons eat pigs, deer, buffalo, horses, monkeys, and each other. They are not particularly choosy about lunch -- however, they prefer to eat something already dead, instead of actually having to kill it themselves...except...
- ...Komodo dragon mouths are seething pits of bacteria--the bacteria is poisonous and can kill a large animal in two days!
- Komodo dragons are the biggest lizard on Earth, the male reaching an average size of almost 9 feet long!
- Komodo dragons hide in holes when the weather gets bad, just like your sister, JenCarlos.
- Dragons leave calling cards in their...er...poop! Not literal calling cards, unless they've eaten a traveling salesman recently. Komodo dragons leave clues to their age and gender for other Komodo dragons in their droppings! Gross!
- Komodo dragons can run 11.5 MPH!
Now that you know something about the Komodo dragon, you can start your search for your friend!
