Komodo dragons are carnivores, meaning they eat only meat. They stalk live prey, and they are also scavengers, feeding on carrion, or the carcasses of dead animals. They feed on a range of large animals, including monkeys, wild boar, deer, water buffalo, goats, snakes, livestock such as sheep and cattle. Komodo dragons are cannibalistic, and adults will prey on young ones as well as old and sick dragons. Other dragons may make up to 10% of a dragon's diet. They have been known to stalk human beings.

Young, newly-hatched komodo dragons feed entirely on insects, but as they grow older, they begin to feed on larger prey such as lizards, birds and small mammals such as rodents. Juvenile komodo dragons also eat the eggs of other wildlife.
