Why am I sharing this documentary?
Komodo dragons actually is not on " my favorite animals list", yet somehow I find this fearsome and mysterious creature appealing. They are the hermits of their predators kind since they could be only found on the islands of Indonesia, and they have been dwelling on their sacred territories for millions years. What makes extremely dangerous is their venom, a single bite is lethal and all they do afterwards is waiting for their prey's death. Do not make a mistake of scorning their clumsy body, they are very swift and are able to run 20km/hr! How can I not share this documentary after knowing about this creature! I was jaw-dropped and my eyes were glued to the computer screen the whole time! People would definitely be dangerously in love with this radiant creature!
Summary of the documentary
In the driest region in Indonesia there are numerous islands and there's Komodo park which is designated as a world heritage site. On the island live the predator---Komodo dragon. They were said to be the only survivor from the dinosaur time. They are isolated from the surrounding water, and the islands are 400 from Jakarta. Other than Komodo dragon there are also various kinds of animal inhabit on the islands, including a very special kind of bird, and most of animals live in the woods. When temperature rise in the early morning, komodo dragon make their appearance. Komodo dragon are the largest lizard in the world, reaching 300 from head to tail, and weigh 150 kg. The komodo dragon are cood-blooded animal, and control their body temperature from soaking up the sunlight in the morning. They are able to survive the severe environment because their skin are think and covered with scales. Their skin not only protect them from the other animals also they also preserve water in their body. Their tongues are similar to snake's, they can detect the slightest change of temperature and weather. It is said that komodo dragon can sense their preys from 10 km away. They prey on animals like wild pig, deer. They show surprising agility when capturing a prey, 20 km/hr. They never chew on their prey they just swallow them. Also, a swing of their powerful tail can knock out their food or enemies. Their fearsome claws are sharp and they are also tools for climbing trees! The reason why they are so gigantic and vicious is because they had to evolve to survive. The more amazing thing about this ancient animal is that they can live without food for several months after a big meal! Surely this powerful and intimidating creature would still be dominating komodo islands for a long period.
