The birds provide one source of food for komodo dragons, which are the largest lizards in the world and can grow as long as 3 meters (10 feet) and weigh as much as 90 kilograms (200 lbs). The Park was formed in 1980 primarily to protect these unique creatures and their prey. Nusa Tenggara Timor, Indonesia. Image: Danzer_031160.
