Reptiles are pretty frightening anyway, let alone one that is the size of a Fiat and acts like an MMA fighter on bath salts. Komodo dragons are excellent hunters and arent picky, eating all parts of animals, even horns and bones. Oh, and recent studies have shown that they are venomous. Having venom definitely beats flat, omnivore teeth. Another reason komodo dragons are awesome is that the females can give virgin birth. Parthenogenesis (the technical term for birth without whoopee) is uncommon among vertebrates, but effective when no mates are available, or when those that are smell like cheese. Scientists think that this adaptation developed because storms in Indonesia, where these critters live, can separate the dragons on different islands.
