Question
Nature's size champions tend to grab headlines, from blue whales to giant sequoias. But when it comes to lizards, most people picture tiny geckos or maybe a bearded dragon. What massive lizard species holds the record as the world's largest?
▼
Correct Answer: Komodo Dragon
Komodo dragons rule the lizard world, tipping the scales at 160 pounds and stretching a cool 10 feet long. These absolute units turned the scientific world upside down after Dutch explorers discovered them in 1910 in Indonesia. By 1915 their popularity was through the roof, forcing the government to step in and tell everyone "no, you can't just take home a giant lizard."
