What doyou thing abaout my post today ?? Some Jokes ? No ! It`s real. The Comodo Dragon Park. Here the post, you can found any place in The International Comodo Dragon Park.The Komodo National Park is a national park in Indonesia located near the Lesser Sunda Islands in the border region between the provinces of East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara. The park includes the three larger islands Komodo, Rinca and Padar, as well as numerous smaller ones, and a total area of 1817 km² (603 km² of it land). The national park was founded in 1980 in order to protect the Komodo dragon. Later it was dedicated to protecting other species, including marine species. The islands of the national park are of volcanic origin. About 4000 people live within the park. In 1991 the national park was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Komodo dragon is believed to be descended from this species and evolved to its present from over four million years ago. Komodo dragon is known for a long lived and the largest reptilian species with an estimated life expectancy of over 50 years in the wild life. The largest recorded specimen was 3,13 meters in length and was undoubtedly a male as the females rarely exceed than 2,5 meters in length. An approximate weight for an adult Komodo is 70 kilograms. The Komodo is a stealth predator which lies motionless and camouflaged. Prey species for the dragon on Komodo Island include deer,boar,wild buffalo,the maleo bird,snakes,reptiles and small mammals. On Rica,monkeys and wild horses are often become the constitute preys,as well as goats. The Komodo is typically a communal feeder and many numbers of dragon may arrive at the site of the carcass.
The Komodo dragon (Varanus komodoensis) is a species of lizard that inhabits the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, and Gili Motang in Indonesia. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2 to 3 metres (6.6 to 9.8 ft) and weighing around 70 kilograms (150 lb). Their unusual size is attributed to island gigantism, since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the niche on the islands where they live, and also to the Komodo dragon's low metabolic rate. As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live. Although Komodo dragons eat mostly carrion, they will also hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals.
Mating begins between May and August, and the eggs are laid in September. About twenty eggs are deposited in abandoned megapode nests and incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in April, when insects are most plentiful. Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore dwell in trees, safe from predators and cannibalistic adults. They take around three to five years to mature, and may live as long as fifty years. They are among the rare vertebrates capable of parthenogenesis, in which females may lay viable eggs if males are absent.
