Komodo

Komodo dragons, as apex predators, consume approximately 80–120 pounds of meat annually, depending on their size, age, and environment.

An adult Komodo dragon can eat up to 80% of its body weight in one feeding but typically eats less frequently, sustaining itself on large meals that may include deer, pigs, or carrion.

Juveniles and smaller adults consume smaller prey, such as birds and rodents, contributing to their lower annual intake compared to larger adults.

This efficient feeding pattern allows them to thrive in the resource-scarce environments of their native Indonesian islands.
