The Komodo dragon is also known as the Komodo monitor or the Komodo Island monitor in scientific literature, although this is not very common. To the natives of Komodo Island, it is referred to as ora, buaya darat (land crocodile), or biawak raksasa (giant monitor).

The 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray is the new normal for Corvette performance. Though this $69,375 Corvette has the Z51 package (electronic limited slip, dry-sump lubrication, lower gear ratios in 1st to 3rd and additional cooling ducts), its 6.2-liter LT1 V8 is the base engine. The one your grandpa will get.
