The Komodo Dragon: Indonesia’s Living Legend

The Komodo dragon species is the largest living lizard on Earth. Found primarily on Komodo Island, Rinca, Flores, and a few smaller islands, this ancient predator can grow up to three meters long and weigh over 70 kilograms. Some full-grown adults can weigh as much as 140 kilograms! Known for its venomous bite and stealthy hunting skills, the Komodo dragon is often referred to as a living dinosaur.

Its natural environment, the Komodo dragon habitat, is a rugged and remote corner of Indonesia. These isolated ecosystems are rich in biodiversity but vulnerable to climate change and human activity. Today, the Komodo dragon is listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List, with fewer than 6,000 individuals left in the wild.
