Commas--between two adjectives
Have you ever wonder what are the biggest, heaviest lizards on earth? Well...here's your answer: KOMODO DRAGONS. Unfortunately this amazing creatures are just found in Indonesia's Lesser Sudan Islands and it wasn't until about 100 years ago that scientists discover them although they have existed for millions of years. Full-grown Komodo Dragons can weight more than 300 pounds and reach 10 feet long! But most interesting of all a female Komodo dragon can lay up to 30 eggs, each one containing a gigantic creature!
"They are powerful-looking reptiles with wide, flat heads, rounded snouts, bowed legs, and huge, muscular tails. They have a clumsy, back-and-forth walk, and their yellow tongues flick in and out constantly". says the National Geographic Kids's article on Komodo dragons.
They are, of course, the dominant predators in the islands. They eat anything they found, even if it's dead. "They pounce on their prey with powerful legs and sharp claws, then sink their jagged, sharklike teeth in". says the same article from the paragraph above. The Komodo dragon's saliva has a big amount of bacteria which poisons their victims within 24 hours. After all they eat, it's no big deal the fact that the 80% of their body weight comes from their foods. Finally, this dragons have a thick, gritty skin that protects them from weather conditions.
