RE: Amazing Animals #17 The Komodo Dragon
The Komodo dragon looks like something out of history books. I had no idea that such animals still existed. I would still be doubting it if you didn't show such expertise in your work. For them to have remained in existence after all these years, they must have been able to change to different situations and adapt to various challenges that life would definitely have thrown at them.
Excellent, detailed work as usual. Thanks.
Luckily for them their habitat around the Equator has remained relatively unchanged throughout their existence, on their habitual islands until recent times they've never had competition for food from larger predators.
Aside from some large Volcanic eruptions that have occurred in the region they have existed in one of the most stable and isolated areas on the planet, compared to other animals from the Pleistocene era they've been very lucky.
That explains a lot about their ability to have survived so long. Thank you for your response. You write these things like no other.
No surprise they don't exists because we killed them all.
