Extract
For paleobiologists interested in extinct carnivorous reptiles, publication of Walter Auffenberg's (1981) 13–month field study of the Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis), or ora, as he prefers to call it, provides a useful portrait of a reptile as the top predator of a terrestrial community. A great deal of information about the ora's habitat utilization, activity patterns, diet, social behavior, and reproduction is presented.
