Komodo dragons reproduce through parthenogenesis, a rare form of asexual reproduction.
Despite being solitary animals, female Komodo dragons can store sperm for several years to fertilize their eggs when conditions are favorable.
Female Komodo dragons can lay eggs without mating with a male, producing offspring that are genetic clones of themselves.
The incubation period for Komodo dragon eggs is around 7-8 months, with the mother providing no parental care once the eggs are laid.
Baby Komodo dragons are born fully independent and must fend for themselves from the moment they hatch.
Komodo dragons are remarkable creatures with unique reproductive strategies that continue to intrigue scientists and nature enthusiasts alike.
