According to the International Union for Nature (IUCN), there are only 5,000 species in the wild and are considered to be vulnerable to extinction. The largest recorded dragon Wild Komodo weighed £ 365 (166 kg.) Their claws are extremely strong and are used to dig the burrows and hold prey. The chest of drawers does not have an acute smell or vision that relies mainly on its language to detect the world around it.
The Komodo Dragons season runs every year from May to August and presents a violent confrontation over the rights of breeding. Some evidence suggests that Dragons chest of drawers has been a long life, a rare behavioral feature between lizards. The female lies eggs in September and incubate them for seven or eight months. During the first four or five years of life, dragons of Komodo spend most of the time on the trees because adult male dragons goThey kill and eat juveniles. Prisoners showed evidence of the parthenogenic reproduction, laying viable eggs without any fertilization of men.

A 2002 study also showed that wild dragons are shrinking, probably due to the lower availability of prey. This species is considered to be endangered by poaching, loss of prey and natural events such as volcanoes and earthquakes common throughout their extent. ZOO breeding programs have not yet been very successful because animals are susceptible to disease and are often not stated. If the species remains viable vmno experts, it believes that the effort to protect the dragon chest of drawers and the sources of the food on which they exist must be extended.
