Komodo dragons are the largest and heaviest lizards with long tails, strong and agile necks and sturdy limbs. They are native to Indonesia. These wild dragons typically weigh about 154 pounds (70 kilograms), but the largest verified specimen reached 10.3 feet (3.13 meters) in length and weighed 366 pounds (166 kilograms). Males tend to grow larger and bulkier than females, according to Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute.
