Komodo Dragons Eat Their Own - What drives one of nature’s most powerful predators to turn on its own young? This story reveals the dark survival instincts of the Komodo dragon. | The Brain Maze

We really like our Komodo dragon! 💚 And what's not to like? Charlie's one of a kind! Komodo dragons are the largest species of lizard, weighing up to 300 pounds at full size. With powerful salivary proteins and sharp teeth, Komodo dragons are apex predators capable of taking down prey much larger than themselves. Starting today, Monday, Oct. 20, guests can see Charlie during regular daytime hours in the Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium! | Saint Louis Zoo
