Predators
Komodo Dragons were only discovered by humans within the last 100 years but they have lived on Indonesia's Lesser Sunda Islands for millions of years. The carnivorous lizards patiently wait, using their camouflaged and scaly skin to blend into their surroundings. They detect prey with scent and when the moment is right, they strike, releasing a venom that has over 50 strains of deadly bacteria.National Geographic: Komodo Dragon-
