Komodo dragons grow to 3 meters (10 feet) in length and weigh about 135 kg (298 pounds), with some individuals weighing as much as 165 kg (364 pounds). Adults range in color from brown to shades of red and gray with burly and muscular bodies, thick limbs, and a robust tail. Juveniles are smaller with prominent banding and spotted patterns. All Komodo dragons have large heads and a rounded snout that contains a mouth full of sharp, serrated, backward-curving teeth.
