Komodo Dragons (Varanus komodoensis)

The claim that average adult male ora weigh 40-50kg is inaccurate and not well based. Now i've communicated with Dr. Tim Jessop on the matter, and this is what he had to say( the original question dealt with what a large ora could weigh without supplemental food, hence the 87kg figure).

Claims made earlier in this post that a 73kg male would be fully gorged and not an empty stomach measurement are false; the figures given by Wood appear to be well based Reply
