Komodo dragons are the largest lizards on Earth, native to Indonesian islands. They are apex predators, using their size and venomous bite to hunt prey.
These majestic creatures play a crucial role in their ecosystem, helping maintain the balance of the island's biodiversity. They are known for their stealthy hunting tactics.
Despite their fierce reputation, Komodo dragons are vulnerable to extinction due to habitat loss and poaching. Conservation efforts are underway to protect these iconic reptiles.
Komodo dragons have a keen sense of smell and can detect carrion from miles away. They are solitary animals, except during the breeding season.
Female Komodo dragons can reproduce without a male through a process called parthenogenesis. They lay their eggs in nests dug into the ground.
Visitors can observe these incredible creatures in their natural habitat at Komodo National Park. Witness the guardians of the islands in action!
