... Great view of enormous pre-historic looking animals fighting... commonly known as "Komodo Dragons", due to its appearance and aggressive behavior... although not all the islands within the Komodo National Park are home to this creature, the mighty Komodo dragon reigns as king on Rinca Island... it is the best place to see them in their natural habitat because they prefer more savannah than jungle and trees... you will be guided by rangers who come from the Village of Rinca... they are very knowledgeable about the island and many different animals living in it... Thanks a lot Gian Luca and Raffaella!(✿◠‿◠)

The national park was founded in 1980, later it was dedicated to protecting other species, including marine species.
The most remarkable inhabitant of Komodo National Park is the Komodo Lizard.

The Komodo Lizard, is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2 to 3m.
