Facts -
 
Nestled between eastern Sumbawa and Western Flores, Komodo Island is the original habitat of the biggest prehistoric lizard on earth, called the Komodo Dragon. Fossils dating back 130 million years ago, suggests that Komodo Dragons have been around since the time of the Dinosaurs!
 
These monitor lizards, (Varanus Komodoensis) measure up to 3 meters in length and can weigh up to 165kg fully grown. They are fearsome creatures with enormous jaws, squat muscular legs and sharp claws. Preying on live deer, goats and wild pigs, they lie hidden in long grass, waiting for their prey to walk by. Once bitten by a Komodo, bacteria in their saliva causes severe infection, which in turn, kills their prey before they devour it.
 
Komodo Dragons have keen senses and are considered amongst the most intelligent of reptiles. Being excellent swimmers, they use their tails for propulsion in the strong marine currents, which allows them to travel between islands in search of food or mates.
