Komodo dragons are the world's largest lizards. They live on the islands of Komodo, Rinca and other tiny surrounding islands, and on the westernmost part of Flores Island in Indonesia. Komodo is west of Flores, east of Sumbawa, and north of Sumba. If you are an ordinary person, you can only reach Komodo by boat.
The magnificent Komodo dragon is vulnerable. Some might think that the largest lizard in the world wouldnât have to worry about its safety. One study estimated the population of Komodo dragons within Komodo National Park to be 2,405. Another study estimated between 3,000 and 3,100 individuals.
