It is most active in the day, although it exhibits some nocturnal activity.

Komodo dragons live in solitary. They come together only to breed and eat. They are capable of running rapidly in brief sprints up to 20 kilometres per hour. As the Komodo dragon matures, its claws are used primarily as weapons, as its great size makes climbing impractical.
