- Abstract:
This article describes the eating behavior of Komodo dragons. Komodo dragons hunt and eat mainly Rusa deer. They also hunt birds, wild pigs, monkeys and other reptiles. The dragons eat nearly all parts of their prey including the bones, hooves and fur. After a large meal, a Komodo dragon does not need to eat again for several days. It gets most of the water it needs from the prey it has eaten. A Komodo dragon is a smart and patient hunter. It often hides for hours in tall grasses near a water hole. It waits for prey that come to drink at the hole. When the Komodo dragon bites its prey, the animals wound fills with deadly bacteria from the Komodo dragon's mouth.
