As they get older and their body size, Komodo dragons often use their claws as weapons, because their large body size makes it difficult to climb trees. For shelter, the Komodo dragon is able to dig a hole 1-3 metres wide with its front legs and strong claws. Because of its size and habit of sleeping in a hole, Komodo dragons can maintain their body heat during the night and reduce sunbathing time in the morning.

When the prey is within reach, the Komodo dragon immediately attacks it by biting on the lower side of the body or throat. Komodo dragons find their prey using their tongues which can smell their prey, dead or dying animals at a distance of up to 9.5 kilometres.
