Komodo dragon, or a full-called Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis [1]),
is the world's largest lizard species that live on the island of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang, and Gili Dasami in Nusa Tenggara. [2]
Lizard by the natives of Komodo island is also called by local names ora. [3]
Including family members Varanidae monitor lizards, and Toxicofera klad, dragons are the largest lizards in the world, with an average length of 2-3 m. Large size is associated with symptoms of island giantism, the tendency for massive bodies of certain animals that live on a small island linked to the absence of mammalian carnivores on the island where dragons live, and the rate of metabolism of small dragons. [4]
[5] Because of her size, these lizards occupy the position of top predators that dominate the ecosystems in which they live. [6]
Komodo discovered by western researchers in 1910. He was a great and terrible reputation makes them popular in zoos. Dragons in the wild habitat has been shrinking due to human activity and therefore incorporate dragons IUCN as a species vulnerable to extinction. This large lizard is now protected under Indonesian law and a national park, the Komodo National Park, established to protect them.

Indonesia
Indonesia’s Komodo National Park includes the three larger islands Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller ones, for a total area of 1,817 square kilometers (603 square kilometers of it land). The national park was founded in 1980 to protect the Komodo dragon. Later, it was also dedicated to protecting other species, including marine animals. The islands of the national park are of volcanic origin.
You might ask, why did I discuss KOMODO on this blog. Therefore, the Komodo dragon is one of the rarest animals in the world which is also known as ancient animals are still alive
As a native Indonesian, I certainly hope these animals get more attention from everyone in the world. How can we preserve the remaining animals, if even one animal which there is not can we save?
Therefore, let us choose KOMODO as one of the world heritage that needs to be maintained.
