It turns out...Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth! nature.com/articles/s41559-0… Their serrations and tips pop into the mouth with an orange hue. Using different techniques, we show that these iconic lizards have special iron-rich coatings on each tooth, keeping them razor sharp!

Also, listen to that explanation of why we concluded it was a male individual... I'm genuinely so proud of them, so bright! 🤩🤩🤩 If I do end up in teaching, this whole experience would 100% be core part of that future decision. Thank you again for this, it's been brilliant ❤
