This is nice and pretty.https://www.acuprice.com/
thank you cutiepiecrist!
Komodo dragons is only in Indoensia, right? i think i read that somewhere.
yes, they are indigenous to flores, komodo and other small islands in the vicinity. some are scattered in zoos and safaris throughout indonesia. 🙂
I remember that my day told me about these huge creatures. He grew up in Indonesia.
yeah, they are massive and deadly creatures, you can view the actual size in this short preview of a bbc doc: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E301-GEfiuk
I’m sure they’re quite nice creatures really, but I’ll just accept your word for it if you don’t mind!
haha. there were confirmed reports of people being killed by their bites, which contain highly venomous saliva. thanks louis.
They look old.
the ones in the photos are moderate in size, so i think that they’re quite young as compared to their siblings in the wild.
Did you take these with a zoom lens ? Dont they run around 15mph ?
yeah, at 250mm. and we were inside our slowly moving vehicle so it’s quite safe. 🙂 thanks ko and yappy!
Always wanted to see these and you captured them beautifully!
we were only seeing them from quite a distance. need to travel to flores or komodo islands to see them in the wild (and also from a very safe distance i think). 😮
I love the titles to your posts!! Great shot !!!
and again, thank you so much david!
We have one at the San Diego Zoo. They are magnificent creatures!
