Komodo is one of the 17,508 islands that make up the Republic of Indonesia. The island is particularly notable as
the natural habitat of the komodo dragon, the largest lizard on earth and consequently named after the island.
Komodo Island has a surface area of 390 km² and a permanent population of over 2,000. The inhabitants of the
island are descendants of former convicts who were exiled to the island and who have mixed with Bugis from
Sulawesi. The population are primarily adherents of Islam but there are also Christian and Hindu congregations.
Komodo is part of the Lesser Sunda chain of islands and forms part of the Komodo National Park. In addition, the
island is a popular destination for diving. Administratively, it is part of the East Nusa Tenggara province.The earliest
 stories of a dragon existing in the region circulated widely and attracted considerable attention. But no one visited
the island to check the story until official interest was sparked in the early 1910s by stories from Dutch sailors based
in Flores about a mysterious creature. The creature was allegedly a "dragon" which inhabited a small island in the
Lesser Sunda Islands (the main island of which is Flores in East Nusa Tenggara).
The Dutch sailors reported that the creature measured up to seven meters in length with a large body and mouth
which constantly spat fire. Hearing the reports, Lieutenant Steyn van Hensbroek, an official of the Dutch Colonial
Administration in Flores, planned a trip to Komodo Island. He armed himself, and accompanied by a team of
soldiers he landed on the island. After a few days, Hensbroek managed tokill one of the strange animals.
Van Hensbroek took the animal to headquarters where measurements were taken. It was approximately 2.1 meters
long, with a shape very similar to that of a lizard. More samples were then photographed by Peter A. Ouwens, the
Director of the Zoological Museum and Botanical Gardens in Bogor, Java. The records that Ouwens made are the
first reliable documentation of details about what is now called the Komodo dragon or Komodo monitor.
Ouwens was keen to obtain additional samples. He recruited hunters who killed two dragons measuring 3.1
meters and 3.35 meters as well as capturing two pups, each measuring less than one meter. Ouwens carried out
studies on the samples and concluded that the komodo dragon was not a flamethrower but was a type of monitor
lizard. Research results were published in 1912. Ouwens named the giant lizard Varanus komodoensis, more
commonly known as a komodo dragon. Realizing the significance of the dragons on Komodo Island as an
endangered species, the Dutch government issued a regulation on the protection of komodos on Komodo Island in
1915.
The komodo dragon became something of a living legend. In the decades since the komodo was discovered,
various scientific expeditions from a range of countries have carried out field research on the dragons on Komodo
Island.
Komodo has been included into the controversial New7Wonders of Nature list since November 11, 2011.Komodo
lies between the substantially larger neighboring islands Sumbawa to the west and Flores to the east.
The island is famous not only for its heritage of convicts but also for the unique fauna which roam it. The komodo
dragon, the world's largest living lizard, takes its name from the island. A type of monitor lizard, it inhabits Komodo
Island and some of the smaller surrounding islands, as well as part of western Flores. Javan deer also inhabit the
island, though they are not native. Other animals include buffalo, civets, cockatoo and macaques.
Komodo contains a beach with pink sand, one of only seven in the world. The sand appears pink because it is a
mixture of white sand and red sand, formed from pieces of Foraminifera.

A. Komodo island
