Gijben Badon and his wife from Holland visiting Komodo Island several years ago with me. At that time we had 35 days of the tour program
Flores, Gili
West Nusa Tenggara, Bali and Java. In fact we visited flores "
kelimutu lake" and "Komodo Island". Komodo spread over four islands in the southeastern islands east of the
island of Komodo,
Rinca, Gili Montong districts and islands in the harbor BAJOE code. As the population and require extensive habitat Indonesian government to move from the main island of Komodo "Komodo Island" to the three other islands. Komodo is the only surviving ancient animals living in the modern world. Reptile is thought to have lived since the early tertiarum (50-60 million years ago) along with the life of dinosaurs, which is why
Komodo Dragon called Dino, animal habitats exist only in East Indonesia,
East Nusa Tenggara.
Assets, including carnivores, as well as animals prey on each other or each other cannibals, dragons are actually the main food buffalo and deer, in the past dragons are the main food of ancient elephant (
Stegodon), which is why dragons have tremendous size in the past, these animals as lizards or lizard but the size and style that differentiates hunt these animals. Komodo is flexible as well as animals also have the ability to reproduce a single, meaning that dragons can lay eggs without having in buahi with her partner (male) without mating or parthenogenesis, that's why dragons can survive until now.
Komodo is very interesting, by the looks of a very ancient style, size and look of leather, tough scaly skin almost like a dragon, has four black claws on each foot and the big, main weapon is the saliva of these animals, dragons saliva is highly toxic, there 60'an bacteria contained in it airliurnya, hunting style or styles do not like the Komodo dragon prey on other animals who rely on speed or strength of the bite. Komodo spelled slowest animals hunt for the invite, but these animals rely on saliva and patience, if the prey is bitten or exposed to saliva. Certainly will be exposed to poison dragons prey and prey age certainly will not be long, if it has been bitten or exposed to saliva, Komodo just follow and wait for their prey and then fall into the food. The length of the Komodo dragon can reach 3 feet or the size of a car or a Kijang Innova APV.
Because of the unique and endangered Komodo dragons spread to other islands and the Indonesian government issued laws to protect these ancient animals and also in the Make "the Park". And because only Indonesia that have these animals, UNESCO (organization of Education, Science and Culture of the United Nations) set one world heritage site and after going through a lengthy process in May 2012 Komodo established as one of the new seven wonders of nature.
