Found on the Indonesian islands, the Komodo dragon was only discovered 100 years ago, and quickly became the stuff of nightmares!
This mega-lizard can grow to over 10ft and weigh 91kg. With serrated teeth similar to sharks, Komodo dragons not only look like creatures from a distant age, fossil analysis reveals that these incredible reptiles can be traced back 3.8 million years. Yet the true nature of the biggest lizard in the world is only just being uncovered.
