There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yeah I agree they wont be apex predators for sure.
Monitor lizards generally two types (terrestrial and semi aquatic).
Dragons are terrestrial, so interaction with crocs could be rare.
Dragons are extremely more muscular and heavier than other lizards for its size. What I mean is monitor lizards species in Africa can get upto 2m and Komodos get upto 3m. Eventhough there is around 1m difference, the dragons will weigh atleast 5 times more.
The monitor lizards preyed by lions, hyenas etc are they venomous ? Sorry I dont no about the venom part, If you have more info kindly share.
Young dragons are known to be more arboreal, so they may come in contact with leopards. But I dont no whether young dragons have venom glands powerful enough to discourage an attack from a leopard.
