    how fast do those things go

    If one of those komodo Dragon bite you and somehow you manage to get away, can the poison be neutralized? Explain please? These dinasour look-alike reptiles are the far most interesting creatures ever. But still, they need to be isolated before little kids like that boy mentioned in the video could become missing! For a minute there, Rom almost became lunch…lol

    Has any biologist come up with a use for the Komodo Dragon’s saliva?

    My son is interested in how it is possible for the female to lay fertilized eggs without having sex. Is it true that she only gives birth to males then?

    What an awesome animal, love it.

  7. Stephen says:

    The Komodo Dragon can run up to 12 miles an hour.

  8. Stephen says:

    Yes, it is true that the Komodo Dragon, when not fertilized by another male Komodo, gives birth to only males. But what is more interesting, is that her baby male Dragons do not share the same DNA as their mother, this will allow her to repopulate with her own offspring.

    What? If you think about it, this is not possible.
