Komodo Dragons' Iron-Coated Teeth Enhance Hunting Skills New research reveals how these fearsome lizards use iron to keep their teeth razor-sharp and explore links to ancient predatorsIn the sun-drenched savannahs of Indonesia, an astonishing adaptation is quietly at play within the mouth of the world’s largest lizard: the Komodo dragon. Researchers from King’s College London published their study this week in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution, revealing how iron-rich coatings help keep the serrated edges of the Komodo dragon's teeth sharp and resilient. Interestingly, the significance of the iron-coated teeth extends beyond the immediate context of current wildlife. The serrated, curved shape of a Komodo dragon’s teeth closely resembles those utilized by dinosaurs to effectively tear into their prey. Despite the awe surrounding these lizards, Komodo dragons face critical threats due to habitat destruction and climate change.
