He has extremely sharp claws that can spilt you in half. He is very stealthy and blends in with certain environments so it will be a little tough to find him. He runs to about 11 mph and can eat up to 80%of it's own body weight. Basically he is giant killer lizard that can finish you off in the matter of minutes and if he doesn't kill you his venomous saliva will.

What we are doing to help them
Trade in Komodo dragons is prohibited under CITES Protection from poaching is made easier by the dragon's limited distribution; there is little human habitation on the islands where it occurs, and Komodo Island, the dragon's stronghold, has been made a national park. The Komodo Dragon National Park and other reserves have ensured its safety by taking care of them. In some areas, the komodo dragons are so well fed that they simply lie around waiting for the next group of tourists to bring the next meal of goat or sheep.
