KOMODO is situated
200 nautical miles east of Bali between the islands of Flores
and Sumbawa. Komodo's symbol of international fame is it's
dragons, the world's largest living Lizard. Indonesia declared
the area a National Park in 1980, and in 1992 Komodo was declared
of land on 4 major and numerous minor islands.
The Komodo Dragon Varanus komodoesis is the largest lizard
in the world. Also know as a varanid or monitor lizard, it
grows to 2.5 meters in length and round 125 kilos. At the
top of the food chain the dragon is an alert and agile predator,
worthy of respect.
Their bacteria laden bite is lethal without
medical treatment. Their tails are also a powerful and dangerous
weapon which can be thrashed with bone breaking force. The
regular flicking of their tongues drives their acute sense
of smell. |
