KomodoDragon - The Last Dragons on Earth

They are the largest lizards of our time and yet look like creatures from prehistoric times. And even though a Komodo dragon does not breathe fire, it can kill a water buffalo with its saliva.
For about five million years, these giant lizards have inhabited our planet - now they face extinction on their Indonesian home islands.
Komodo dragons are NOT descendants of dinosaurs. Because the giant lizards developed only 60 million years after the extinction of the dinos: thus only four to five million years ago in Australia. From there, they later also reached the Indonesian island kingdom.

An island gave them their name
One of these islands is called Komodo. It was there that the monitor lizard was first found and described, that was in 1912, which is why the researchers gave it the name Komodo dragon. It is also often called Komodo dragon. For the locals he is a "sebae", twin of the Komodo dragon.
Today, the last of its kind in freedom live only on the five islands of the Komodo National Park and on the island of Flores further east.
