These predators, located on several Indonesian islands, were first discovered in 1910 by Lieutenant van Stayn van Hensbroek. In 2009 an international research group discovered that Komodo Dragons wield a potent venom. They will eat almost any meat they can find, but their young feed primarily on small lizards and insects. If a Komodo Dragon lives to be five years old it will move onto larger prey such as, rodents, monkeys, goats, wild boar, and deer. They are the largest living lizards in the world.
