Here be dragons

Welcome to Komodo National Park, founded in 1980 as a haven for the Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard. Komodos are a type of monitor lizard - large reptiles with long necks and powerful tails and claws. But the Komodo evolved in this insular environment in Indonesia to be much larger than its fellows and can reach up to 10ft (3m) in length and about 21 stone (135kg) in weight.
