BTW Komodo Dragons are large lizards.
The Komodo dragon, the world's largest lizard, faces the risk of extinction within the next century due to the impending threat of rising sea levels that could submerge its habitat.
This perilous situation places the Komodo dragon alongside other iconic species such as the tiger, basking shark, and Asian elephant on the IUCN Red List.
With fewer than 1,400 adult dragons remaining globally and their habitat confined to a select few Indonesian islands, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has made the crucial decision to elevate the reptile's status from Vulnerable to Endangered.
