It is located between the Sumbawa Island and Flores in the East Nusa Tenggara, parts of Komodo National Park. Home for more than 2000 Komodo dragons, which only can be found in this place.

The Komodo is the largest lizard and reptile on earth. It could reach 3 meters (10 ft.) in length and weighing over 70 Kilograms. Komodo is a carnivore. A ranger must accompany the visitors because the komodo can run quickly. They have impressive vision ability and can see objects from around 300 meters. Besides, their saliva contains a poison that can endanger life. So, the visitors must obey the ranger’s instructions to make sure that everything will be safe.
