Komodo Expedition

This was my latest Komodo Expedition to Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) in its pure habitat. There are about 5,000 within the wild distributed throughout the islands inside the park in addition to some coastal areas in Flores.

The world's largest lizard can also be an endangered species. Komodo Nationwide Park with a present complete measurement of 1,817 km2 was fashioned in1980 to guard these lizards. In 1991, the park was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Web site. Positioned within the centre of the Indonesian archipelago, the closest airport to Komodo Nationwide Park is Labuhan Bajo within the western facet of Flores with each day flight from Bali.

The Komodo dragon grows as much as 2 meters or extra, and weigh over 70 kg. They can odor their prey so far as 5 km with an eyesight that sees so far as 300 meters. They'll run 20 km p/h. Their saliva contained toxic micro organism that kills their prey slowly.

On this expedition, I noticed a bunch of eight, devouring on on a small buffalo carcass. All nonetheless regarded very hungry after they diverted their consideration in the direction of us and we needed to retreat. I managed to seize stills and photographs as we moved to a safer floor.

Footage and pictures had been shot with Fujifilm X-E2, Fujinon lenses 18-55 mm and 50-230mm.
