O QUE SIGNIFICA KOMODO DRAGON EM INGLÊS
Dragão de Komodo
O dragão de Komodo, também conhecido como o monitor Komodo, é uma grande espécie de lagarto encontrado nas ilhas indonésias de Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang e Padar. Um membro da família de lagartos de monitor, é a maior espécie viva de lagarto, crescendo até um comprimento máximo de 3 metros em casos raros e pesando aproximadamente 70 quilogramas. Seu tamanho invulgarmente grande foi atribuído ao gigantismo da ilha, já que nenhum outro animal carnívoro enche o nicho nas ilhas onde vivem. No entanto, pesquisas recentes sugerem que o grande tamanho dos dragões de Komodo pode ser melhor entendido como representativo de uma população relíquia de lagartos varanídeos muito grandes que uma vez viveu na Indonésia e na Austrália, a maioria dos quais, juntamente com outra megafauna, morreu após o Pleistoceno. Os fósseis muito parecidos com V. komodoensis foram encontrados na Austrália datando de mais de 3,8 milhões de anos atrás, e seu tamanho corporal permaneceu estável em Flores, uma das poucas ilhas indonésias, onde atualmente é encontrada, nos últimos 900 mil anos " um tempo marcado por grandes turnos de faunaria, extinção da megafauna da ilha e a chegada de hominídeos precoce por 880 ka.
