Largest lizard in the world: Komodo dragon

The female Komodo dragon is shorter but still can measure up to around 1.8m in length. They can be found in the wild on just five islands in the Indonesian archipelago. So large as it is, the carnivorous and venomous Komodo dragon hunts large mammalian prey including smaller reptiles, birds, deer, pigs, water buffalo and even tries its luck against humans. Prey, alive or dead, can be located by the Komodo dragon up to 8km away.
