Komodo Dragon's Tongue

This animal Photo was taken by me at  local zoological facility using a telephoto lens setting on my camera. In case you fail to recognize this very large lizard, it is commonly called a Komodo Dragon. The actual species name is Varanus Komodoensis and it is the largest type of  Monitor lizard in existence today. Another common Name for it is the Komodo Monitor. It gets it's common name because it originates from Indonesia on the Islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Padar. In the wild it is an ambush predator that lies in wait to attack it's prey. It uses it's long yellowish tongue to sample the air for molecules of scent from it's prey while moving into it's ambush site.
