Komodo dragons can run up to 18 kilometres in short bursts

Komodo dragons are the world’s largest lizard, reaching 165 kg and over three meters in length. At that size you may not think of the Komodo dragon as fast but they can certainly pick up the pace, speed that helps them take down large prey like water buffalos and deer.
