The roughly 200-pound dragons use their sharp teeth to pull off pieces of skin and muscle from their unfortunate victims, which can include larger animals like deer or water buffalo. The victims then swallow the portions of skin and muscle that the dragons have torn off. These teeth's ends and sharp edges are covered with enamel made of iron, according to research that was published on Wednesday in Nature Ecology & Evolution. Not many animals have iron in their teeth like komodos do. Both crocodiles and people, in trace levels, do the same. However, scientists have discovered that Komodo dragons have an abundance of iron in their teeth, which is what keeps their teeth constantly sharp and ready. As a result, scientists have discovered that the teeth of these animals are frequently orange. The researchers explained their results a...
