Komodo dragons use body language, such as head bobbing and tail wagging, to communicate dominance or submission to other dragons.
Chemical communication is vital for Komodo dragons. They use their long, forked tongues to sample the air for scent particles, detecting prey or potential mates.
They also produce vocalizations like hisses, growls, and snorts to convey aggression or establish territory boundaries.
Komodo dragons can detect pheromones to identify other dragons' sex, reproductive status, and even individual identity through scent markings.
Their sense of smell plays a crucial role in social interactions, hunting, and mating behaviors, allowing them to navigate their environment effectively.
Understanding how Komodo dragons communicate sheds light on their complex social dynamics and survival strategies in the wild.
