The Komodo dragon is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. Komodo dragons are carnivores. They mostly eat carrion. They ambush live prey with a stealthy approach. It is able to locate its prey using its keen sense of smell, which can locate a dead or dying animal from a range of up to 9.5 kilometres. The Komodo dragon prefers hot and dry places. It lives typically in dry open grassland, Savanna, and tropical forest at low elevations. It is most active in the day, although it exhibits some noctural activity.

Komodo dragons live in solitary. They come together only to breed and eat. They are capable of running rapidly in brief sprints up to 20 kilometres per hour. As the Komodo dragon matures, its claws are used primarily as weapons, as its great size makes climbing impractical. The Komodo dragon does not have an acute sense of hearing, despite its visible earholes. It is able to see as far away as 300 metres. It is thought to have poor night vision. The evolutionary development of the Komodo dragon started with the Varanus genus, which originated in Asia about 40 million years ago.
