::::You make very good points about how bodyweights might vary markedly in this and other species -  I encourage you to point this out in the article. (Has made me wonder about other animals such as elephants - these are notoriously over -weight in zoos.  Are our average bodyweights from these "abnormal" individual?)   I was looking at the National Geographic as being a reputable source of the Komodo bodyweight, and my own thoughts that given a 2m human probably weighs approximately 100kg, a 3m Komodo could easily weigh more - even taking into account that the tail is thin.__
