In 2006, staff members at two zoos in the United Kingdom identified two
female Komodo dragons that each laid an unusual clutch of eggs.
Mating occurs very quickly and, due to
the female Komodo dragon's adversarial behavior, males must be able to completely restrain the female to avoid the risk of injury.
Additionally, the feces of
a female komodo dragon emits pheromones that alert the males that they are ready to mate.
