Among this amazing natural diversity, a special place is occupied by the Komodo Reserve, which is located on the territory of the small probes.
For the Indonesians, the island of Komodo and the neighboring islands of Rinka and Flores are part of the national treasure, and they consider the Komodsky dragon to almost a symbol of the country. Many mistakenly believe that this is an ancient reptile, the same age as dinosaurs, and especially the superstitious even call it the “last dragon.” In fact, the Komodsky lizard is the largest varan in the world, the body length of which can reach three meters, and the weight is almost a ton.
These lizards are found only within the Komodo National Park, and today, due to the economic activity of man, they are under the threat of disappearance. However, it is not known for whom such a neighborhood is more dangerous: due to the absence of large predators on the islands of large predators, the Varana is at the top of the food chain in their biosystem and recently began to consider people as prey. Due to the ban on the murder of Komodsky dragons, giant lizards are very bolder and are not afraid to approach the villages close and even invade the territory of a person.
Varanian bites can cause blood infection due to pathogens in their saliva and in the absence of proper treatment often lead to death. Varanov makes a strong smell even more dangerous – they can even feel a weak smell of blood at a distance of up to 5 kilometers! However, cases of attacks on tourists are extremely rare and in recent years, lizards have never harmed travelers. Tourist groups are always accompanied by huntsmen armed with bifurcated sticks (the locals claim that this is quite enough to protect),
Yes, and the Varana, who live in the places of accumulation of tourists, behave more modestly, knowing that they can get from the park’s caretakers.
The Komodo National Park is interesting not only with giant lizards – many species of mammals, birds and reptiles live on its territory, including Timor deer, water buffalo, civate and parrots. The coastal waters of this group of islands are an excellent place for diving, snorking and observing marine animals, here you can find turtles, sperm whales and sea sirens, not to mention slopes, dolphins and hundreds of species of fish and corals.
The airport closest to Komodo Park is located on the island of Flores in the city of Labuan Badgio. From Flores to the island of Rink you need to get on a boat; This will take about 4-5 hours (sail to the chest of drawers even longer). Stunning views await you (grab a waterproof cover for the camera); On the way, you can dwell on one of the chic deserted beaches of the Small Sound Islands. If you are accommodated, do not forget to grab the pills from the sea disease.
The easiest way to get to the park is from Bali, there you can buy a two-three-day daytime tour of a rink or a chest of drawers right on the spot.
