They note that the dragon â;; inhabiting the central Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami â;; shares the feeding and dental characteristics of extinct dinosaurs, sharks and sabre-toothed cats.

These creatures creep me out. There's one on display at the National zoo in Washington, DC. I saw some show on TV featuring these things and saw how one ambushed, killed and devoured an ox. Other Komodos who caught a scent of the kill joined the feast. There was also some speculation in this show that these dragons may have attacked, killed and devoured Michael Rockefeller (youngest son of Nelson Rockefeller) when he came to shore after his craft capsized. Seemed plausible at the time but those waters were also shark infested so???

The Komodo has always fascinated me.

I have watched several documentaries on them

They certainly are a fearsome creatures
