Komodo, an island, a giant lizard, a language, a people, and a National Park, lying 500 km east of Bali. Komodo National Park consisting of 3 islands, nestled between eastern Sumbawa and western Flores : Komodo, Padar and Rinca is basically volcanic. This is the home of the giant lizard known as the Komodo Dragon. This is the world's largest monitor lizard, varanus komodoensis. When fully grown it measures up to 4 meters in length and weighs anything up to 150 kg. They are fearsome creatures with enormous jaws, squat muscular legs and sharp claws. Preying on live deer, goats and wild pig, they lie in wait hidden in the long grass. Fossils bearing a strong resemblance have been unearthed from chalk deposits dating back 130 million years, about the end of the Age of Dinosaurs.
The few inhabitants dwelling on Komodo today have built heir 'kampong' on stilts right next to the sea, and survive by fishing, as the land is dry and arid, almost impossible to cultivate
