Komodo Park | Komodo Dragon


 
 
The Komodo Dragons (Varanus komodoensis)
You really feel like you are stepping back into a lost world that time has forgotten when you first encounter a Komodo Dragon, these huge monsters belong to the Protected Species Varanus Komodoensis and are the largest lizards in the world, they are meat eaters, although you can be tricked into thinking that these animals are harmless by the way they lazily lounge in the mid day sun renewing their energy,  once they start moving they can run faster than a human over a short distance and one swipe of their tail breaks Deer and Water Buffalo legs, or a bite from them leaves the victim full of deadly bacteria that spreads throughout the body, after a few days  they will collapse and are instantly jumped upon by the stalking dragon (not a very pleasant way to go)
