Komodo Dragon in the Wild | World's Largest Lizard on Komodo Island

Описание: Experience the thrill of encountering the legendary Komodo Dragon in its natural habitat on Komodo Island! Watch these massive prehistoric predators - the world's largest living lizards - as they roam freely through the rugged landscape of Komodo National Park. These apex predators can grow over 3 meters (10 feet) long and weigh up to 90 kg (200 lbs), with a venomous bite and incredible hunting abilities.

Komodo Dragons (Varanus komodoensis) are the world's heaviest lizards and apex predators found only in Indonesia. They have venomous saliva containing anticoagulants and toxins that help bring down prey like deer, water buffalo, and wild boar. Despite their bulky appearance, they can run up to 20 km/h (12 mph) in short bursts and are excellent swimmers. With their forked tongues, they can detect carrion from up to 9 km (5.5 miles) away!
Conservation Status:
Listed as Endangered by the IUCN with only around 3,000-5,000 individuals remaining in the wild. Komodo National Park was established in 1980 to protect these magnificent creatures and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
