Indonesia is home to the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon. These incredible creatures can grow up to 10 feet in length and weigh over 150 pounds. They can only be found on a few islands in Indonesia, including Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang. Komodo dragons are apex predators and have a powerful bite, thanks to their serrated teeth and venomous glands. They can take down prey as large as deer and water buffalo! What's even more fascinating is their incredible sense of smell, which allows them to detect carrion from miles away. If you're ever in Indonesia, a visit to Komodo National Park is a must to see these magnificent creatures up close.
