SAILING INDONESIA: Dragons of Komodo Island

Komodo Dragons are giant lizards that have evolved into being top predators and lethal killers. They are amazing in several respects firstly due to their power and lethality. Secondly due to their killing methods either by swallowing alive or by infecting their victims with their poisonous saliva. They are also outstanding due to the fact that such a powerful and lethal animal has evolved in two tiny islands in Indonesia a phenomena not seen in other predator species. And the Komodo Dragon does not feed itself of small animals as it eats wild pigs, deer and goats which it swallows whole and alive while larger animals such as wild buffalo it bites, infects, waits them out while they die and then eats them. Watching them in the wild in their natural environment of Komodo and Rinca Islands is a true privilege and all owed to the magnificent National Park Services and Staff of Indonesia that has managed to keep their habitat perfectly preserved and protected into the future.
