About me

I live in Flores Island (Komodo) East Nusa Tenggara Province of Indonesia. Flores island is as one of the best island from seventin thousand islands of Indonesia.Flores island has many special and spectacular spot for travelers who love Natural. 

In Flores you will mit contrisite people with their original way of life and their different way of their caltural.Besides that, Here also the place where you can find the Big ancient Animal that you never find in another place in the World, that is Komodo. 

The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Padar. A member of the monitor lizard family Varanidae, it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres in rare cases and weighing up to approximately 70 kilograms (150 lb).

Their unusually large size has been attributed to island gigantism, since no other carnivorous animals fill the niche on the islands where they live. However, recent research suggests the large size of Komodo dragons may be better understood as representative of a relict population of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, along with other megafauna, died out after the Pleistocene.Fossils very similar to V.komodoensis have been found in Australia dating to greater than 3.8 million years ago, and its body size remained stable on Flores, one of the handful of Indonesian islands where it is currently found, over the last 900,000 years, "a time marked by major faunal turnovers, extinction of the island's megafauna, and the arrival of early hominids by 880 ka [kiloannums]."[1]

As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals.It has been claimed that they have a venomous bite; there are two glands in the lower jaw which secrete several toxic proteins.The biological significance of these proteins is disputed, but the glands have been shown to secrete an anticoagulant.Komodo dragon group behaviour in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world.The diet of big Komodo dragons mainly consists of deer, though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion. Komodo dragons also occasionally attack humans.

Mating begins between May and August, and the eggs are laid in September.About 20 eggs are deposited in abandoned megapode nests or in a self-dug nesting hole.The eggs are incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in April, when insects are most plentiful.Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore dwell in trees, safe from predators and cannibalistic adults.They take 8 to 9 years to mature, and are estimated to live up to 30 years.

Komodo dragons were first recorded by Western scientists in 1910.Their large size and fearsome reputation make them popular zoo exhibits.In the wild, their range has contracted due to human activities, and they are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. They are protected under Indonesian law, and a national park, Komodo National Park, was founded to aid protection efforts.

I am as one of Native people on this island and have been working as a local guide for around 4 years.I usually lead the travelers to visit the Komodo island to find that animal and also the other wildlife, such water buffalo, deers, wild horses and ten kinds of tropical bird.
