Komodo Dragon.

            "These powerful predators are found throughout a small group of Indonesian Islands, including Rinca, Flores and Komodo Island. Their tongues are yellow and forked and, just like snakes, they use this to ‘smell’ the air to detect their next meal, which may include monkey, goat or deer. A Komodo dragon will produce a lethal bite, although it can take up to four days for their prey to die! They have strong jaw muscles and serrated teeth in order to efficiently tear and eat large chunks of meat.
Komodo dragons have thrived in the harsh climate of the Indonesian Islands for millions of years. Fossils, from 50,000 years ago, show they used to live in Australia once upon a time! Due to the increasing threats of habitat destruction, poaching and natural disasters, these dragons are considered a vulnerable species."
