Komodo Dragon Komodo dragons are the world's heaviest living lizards. They can grow to\ a length of over 3 metres, with an average length of 2.5 metres and weight of 91 kilogram\ s. Females are usually under 2.5 metres and weigh about 68 kilograms. The Komodo dragons’ keen sense of smell, if aided by favourable wind,\ enables them to seek out carrion* up to 8.5 kilometres away. Despite their size, Komodos are \ fast moving and agile. They can climb trees and are good swimmers. Their teeth are laterally compressed with serrated edges, resembling tho\ se of flesh-eating sharks. They have about 60 teeth that are replaced frequently and that are positioned to cut out chunks of their prey. Komodos have a highly flexible skull which all\ ows them to swallow large pieces of their food. A Komodo’s mouth is full of virulent bacteria, so even if their prey survives the original attack, it will die of infection later. In additio\ n, recent research has found that Komodos have a venom gland which is important in disabling their pr\ ey. Young dragons, up to 0.75 metres in length, live in trees and eat insect\ s, birds, eggs, small mammals and other reptiles. However, they descend from the trees for ca\ rrion.

6 © UCLES 2011 E7P110/01/M/J/11 For Teacher's Use Read this text based on an extract from a website about dragons. Dragons Across Cultures Wherever you live, you have probably heard of dragons, and may even assu\ me that all cultures see dragons in the same way. However, such an assumption is not\ correct! In some cultures, the dragon is viewed as a monster, but in others – such as \ China and Vietnam – the dragon is perceived quite differently. There, they are valued for their \ magic and beauty – and respected. Their anatomy, their behaviour, the ir symbolism and what they mean to society are viewed with quite different eyes. In these cultures, dragons are used in ceremonies and parades. Although \ they may look like monsters, they actually symbolise heroism – not danger and threat. In\ deed, they are considered more a protector than a villain and are very much a symbol of\ power. The Chinese even have a year of the dragon, and it is said that everyone born in thi\ s year will be healthy, wealthy and wise – all of the qualities which the dragon is said to r\ epresent. The year of the dragon is said to be a very prosperous year for the people of China! 5 10 9 Tick ( ) to show which of these statements, according to the text, are true ab\ out how dragons are seen in Chinese and Vietnamese cultures. People look up to the dragons. The dragons are symbols of destruction. People believe dragons will look after them. The dragons represent knowledge and money.
