The Kamamoth Dragon is an amphibian found principally in the eastern cost of Madagascar which is home to many tropical rainforests. Kamamoth dragons are distinguished by their mucus sac, three pair of legs, a second brain and the thick, scaled skin with its long powerful tail that is swirled up at the end. The adult length of a kamamoth range between 50 to 80 cm. Although it is an average sized lizard, it is particularly known for its weight. It can weigh between 20 to 45 kg which is close to the weight of a komodo dragon. They usually live in surroundings that receive minimum light. They are extremely sensitive to light and sometimes in extreme cases they lose their eyesight if they are exposed to too much sunlight and that is why they are usually found under canopies of shade and darkness. Kamamoth dragons are also Omnivores, their diet range from eggs, smaller reptiles, fish, birds and small mammals, fruit and other vegetation. When hunting, Kamamoth dragons rely on camouflage and patience, lying in wait for passing prey. The average life span of a kamamoth in the wild is between 30 years to 50 years but some die young as the brains are outside its head with no basic protection, so it can easily damage its brain and possibly die. Although the mucus sac can protect it in some situations.
