The term 'DRAGON' typically refers to a large, mythical creature that is often depicted as a giant lizard with wings. In reality, the closest living relative to a DRAGON is the Komodo DRAGON, which is a species of monitor lizard native to Indonesia. The Komodo DRAGON is the largest living species of lizard, growing up to 3 meters in length and weighing up to 70 kilograms. It is an apex predator, preying on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles.
