What is the heaviest lizard on Earth?

Chezikeets, its actually the bacteria in their mouths though

Chezikeets, No, they are not venomous, but their mouths have a lot of nasty bacteria and they have all the time in the world to wait for their bite to become infected and their victim to die of sepsis.

They are also venomous but the victim dies very slowly while being followed by the dragon for days. Creepy.

So glad they are not found in Mississippi

HellaciousUndead5433, I think they're amazing creatures

Chezikeets, Yes, I remember a documentary where a group of them hung around a cow while it slowly died, gradually getting closer and closer and flicking their tongues over it. It was spine chilling.😨

look like leftover Dinosaurs to me

Montana Lady, check online. They found that they’re actually venomous. For years it was thought that it was bacteria that killed their prey.

Photo gave the answer away!

Don't understand why some ppl "try" to be experts on here. Just depends what you've read. Enjoy the game.

My father was chassed by one on Quadall Canal during WWII . Climbed a 🌳 Tree. They can't climb Trees....

That's wrong. Because a large Salt water Crocodile will weigh well over 450kg.

VIZ, I got it wrong😂😂😂😂

Crocodiles and alligators are not considered lizards because they belong to a different phylum.

Three hundred pounds? I would hate to be injured when a hungry Komodo dragon finds me. Oooouuu

The island is also near Bali or also known as the land of goddess. Please come and visit

It is also the largest and deadliest lizard.

Montana Lady, like a stalker with really bad breath

Hi. I’m from Indonesia. Thank you for talking about Komodo. A little revision here since I live in the province where the Komodo Island is at. Komodo island is on the Flores island, not Lesser Sunda islands. Thanks.

Crocs are heavier by a long shot!!

is a crocodile not also a lizard?

did you know?why it is dragon?

TheLastKing, yes they are really extraordinary creatures:)

Pls.dont show the right answer on the pictures... thanks

SpecialT68, it actually is venom they have venom glands and last time I checked a saltie was

SpecialT68, from the fetid flesh that gets stuck in their teeth. You're absolutely right 😁

Male saltwater crocodiles are larger than kimono dragons as they have been recorded weighing up to 2,205 lbs

VIZ, noooo you spanner,,,.

Montana Lady, In 2009, the same researchers published further evidence demonstrating Komodo dragons possess a venomous bite. MRI scans of a preserved skull showed the presence of two glands in the lower jaw. The researchers extracted one of these glands from the head of a terminally ill dragon in the Singapore Zoological Gardens, and found it secreted several different toxic proteins. The known functions of these proteins include inhibition of blood clotting, lowering of blood pressure, muscle paralysis, and the induction of hypothermia, leading to shock and loss of consciousness in envenomated prey.[53][54] As a result of the discovery, the previous theory that bacteria were responsible for the deaths of Komodo victims was disputed.

Player #24269550, I don't think they're trying to be an expert, maybe they really know about it (but there are still some people who pretend they're experts)

Tortoises and crocodiles aren't even lizards!

Player #4447476, you're right. Crocs are classified as crocodilians, along with alligators and caimans.

James, they're as beautiful as any other natural creature. And, just for the record, you're wrong -- I had NOTHING to do with it!

Player #5383155, great movie, I agree, but unfortunately the dragon was played by a monitor lizard.

Mudbeast, fair point, but crocs aren't lizards.

A crocodile is more heavier then Komodo dragon

nice question🙋

crocodile is much heavier but not a lizard maybe

Just guessing by the komoto draggon in the picture

Leave the lizards alone, they are not dangerous
