Komodo Dragon Reproduction and Parenting

Komodo dragons reproduce through sexual reproduction. Females lay eggs in nests they dig in the ground. The eggs hatch after about 8 months.

Baby Komodo dragons are called hatchlings. They are left to fend for themselves and climb trees to avoid being eaten by adult Komodos.

Komodo dragon mothers do not provide any care for their offspring. The hatchlings must learn to hunt and survive on their own from a young age.

Despite the lack of parental care, Komodo dragons have evolved unique survival strategies. They are skilled hunters and apex predators in their habitat.

The survival of Komodo dragon hatchlings is a challenging journey, but those that make it to adulthood can grow to be formidable and powerful predators.
