Komodo dragons are prehistoric remnants and an example of reptilian 'megafauna'. They are the largest living species of lizard, measuring up to 3 meters in height and weighing 70 kilograms. These monitor lizards are found only on a few islands in Indonesia, including the island of Komodo which gives them their name.

History: Komodo dragons are vulnerable and are believed to number around 3,000. They are primarily found on a few islands in Indonesia, particularly on Komodo, where Komodo National Park is located, serving as a sanctuary for the species. Komodo dragons were unknown to the western world until 1910.
