      Despite being classified as Vulnerable (Vu) on the IUCN Red List, Komodo dragons are dangerous due to their size and predatory nature. They dominate the ecosystems in which they live and are top predators as well as scavengers. These lizards eat recently dead animals, preventing the spread of disease and assisting with a sort of ‘natural recycling’.
      A Komodo dragon's killing power is intensified by a combination of secondary weapons: venom and bacteria. Any prey that manages to escape an attack might not consider themselves lucky for long.
      Komodo dragons may be monogamous and form "pair bonds", a rare behavior for lizards. Female Komodos lay their eggs from August to September and may use several types of locality; in one study, 60% laid their eggs in the nests of orange-footed scrubfowl (a moundbuilder or megapode ), 20% on ground level and 20% in hilly areas.
      The Komodo dragon prefers hot and dry places and typically lives in dry, open grassland, savanna, and tropical forest at low elevations. As an ectotherm, it is most active in the day, although it exhibits some nocturnal activity. Komodo dragons are solitary, coming together only to breed and eat.
