honestly what you should really be taking away from the Komodo-dragons-actually-evolved-in-Australia thing is that the relatives of our good ol’ Komodo friends were much, much, MUCH bigger than their modern counterparts.

while the Komodo Dragons were still nameless lizards bodysurfing through the open Pacific towards the island that would give them their name, their relative Megalania was still fuckin’ it up in the Australian homeland!

Megalania, if you’re curious, was over 20 FEET long.

ironically though it was ultimately Megalania and most of its direct relatives that would end up in that big zoo in the sky, while the Komodo Dragon managed to carve a niche out for itself in its island home and avoid the fate of its relations.

long may it stay that way.

...this entire time I thought it was "regular size monitor-ish lizard swims to island, becomes huge when it realizes it can be the apex predator" not FUCK OFF HUMONGOUS LIZARD CROSSES AN OCEAN FOR KICKS, BECOMES FUNSIZE AFTER ARRIVING ON CHILL ISLAND". I have learned something interesting and moderately terrifying today, thank you.

tfw you thought Komodo dragons are an example of island gigantism, then find out they’re actually an example of island dwarfism.
