The Komodo dragon is the largest lizard in the world by both weight and length. This giant lizard grows to an amazing 10 feet (3.1 m) long and weighs from 150 to more than 300 pounds (135 kg). These reptiles are millions of years old and can be found on Komodo, Flores, Pintja and Pada, East of Java in Indonesia. They have large jagged teeth which they commonly use to eat prey as big as hog deer, pigs, other small deer, even water buffaloes. The komodo dragons have a strikingly sinister appearance. They have flat heads, a large muscular tail, big claws, tough-looking skin and a yellow flickering tongue.
