VENOM!

Do you want to come and see us?

We live in the far

East

In only a few islands in

Indonesia.

Where are we on a map?

Can you find our home island?

Here is a clue:

It is called

KOMODO!

We come from a family called

Monitor Lizards.

We can grow to be 10 feet long!

That is higher than a school classroom!

And longer than a big SUV!

We have sharp claws and lonnnnngggggg

Tonnnggguuuueeeeeeessssss

When we move we shake our heads to taste the air

Then we can find our

DINNER
Yummmm

Our skin is made of scales with armour and even bones

This makes us very rugged and strong.

We like to live in hot, dry places like grasslands and savannahs.

We sleep in the night and run in the day.

We can run VERYFAST.

(But not for long)

Did you know that dragons were

Real?

Hmmmm?

Well now you do!
