Komodo island, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang in Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, have the biggest species of lizard in the world. Namely Komodo dragon or commonly just called komodo (Varanus Komodoensis). This dragon first discovered by researcher in 1910. This dragon also become one of New 7 Wonders of Nature in the world.

Komodo as the biggest lizard in the world can grow up to 3 meter long and more than 100 kg weight. Their skin is hard and rough, stregthened with a bone plate called osteoderms. They have a big and strong claw to help them find their prey.

Komodo's tail have the same length with their bodies, and about 60 pieces of sharp-toothed teeth, which often change. In his teeth there is a gingival tissue that is often torn apart while eating. Therefore, it is often found a little blood in the saliva of Komodo dragons. This saliva creates an ideal growth environment for a kind of deadly bacteria.

Komodo doesnt have sense of hearing, even tough having ear holes. This lizard is able to see up to 300 m, but it is bad in seeing in the darkness. Komodo uses his tongue to detect taste and smell something, like other reptiles. With the help of the wind and his habit of tilting his head to the right and to the left while walking, this dragons can detect the presence of carrion as far as 5 kilometers.

Birds and eggs, small mammals, monkeys, wild pigs, goats, deer, horses, buffalo, invertebrates and other reptiles (including smaller komodo) is their prey. Komodo are active during the day, although sometimes active at night. Komodo dragons are solitary animals, gathered together only during meals and breeding. They can  run fast up to 20 kilometers per hour at close range, can swim dives to as deep as 4.5 meters and also good at climbing trees using their strong claws
