How metal (Fe) are dragons?

The signs of His glory are all around and they catch my eye. How fascinating is this world and all of creation!

"...study demonstrates a striking and previously overlooked predatory adaptation in the Komodo dragon, V. komodoensis: iron-enriched, protective layers along their tooth serrations and tips."
I am reminded of another beast who is described as having iron teeth in Daniels Vision of Four Beasts:

Daniel 7:7 ESV
[7] After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 


TLDR: A 2024 study reveals Komodo dragons' iron-enriched teeth, echoing Daniel's vision of a beast with iron teeth, symbolizing strength and dominance.
