The left front and right rear limbs move forward, while the right front and left rear limbs remain stationary. • Considering my animal is a type of Monitor Lizard, it is cold blooded (having a body temperature that reflects the environment). The advantage my creature has for having to live in a hot climate is that it warms up its body for energy, and its metabolism, and can therefore successfully hunt prey.

What is its size? A normal Komodo Dragon reaches a length of about 3m (about 10ft).

  9. Komodo Dragon’s special characteristic What special physical adaptations does it have If you are ever bitten by a Komodo Dragon, you are doomed to die. Even if you escape. All Komodo Dragons have a special saliva that contains millions of deadly bacteria that cause rapid death through blood poisoning.
