Natuurlijk dieet Komodo Dragon
Komodo dragons are carnivorous and have a variety of prey ranging from small to large vertebrates. Some of these species include rodents and birds, but also large carcasses are consumed. Besides this, insects and reptiles are occasionally eaten. Naturally, they may consume up to 80% of their BW in one meal. In captivity, this amount is often divided over multiple days.
