The King Of Lizards | The Komodo Dragon | 1000 Days For The Planet | Documentary Central
Ойын-сауық
The Komodo dragon is the world's largest lizard and one of its fiercest predators. The crew travels to Komodo Island to observe these magnificent and deadly creatures.
1000 Days for the Planet is the latest project from world-renowned scientist and UN Ambassador for the Environment, Jean Lemire. Lemire explores the world from his 50-foot sailboat, the Sedna IV, stopping everywhere from Alaska to the Philippines. Along the way, the series reveals the extraordinary beauty of the planet whilst helping us understand how our living environments function, and ultimately ponder the great challenges we all face.
Exploring life from ocean depths to mountain peaks, and from vast savannahs to the heart of the jungle, this series is beautiful and challenging. 1000 Days for the Planet is a journey around our vast planet to discover life’s extraordinary diversity and to bear witness to its fragile balance.

It's admirable how the people treat Komodo dragons as part of the island rather than in conflict with it. So many cases with the natural world, people are the threat not the other way around. These inhabitants understands that better than most.

Great documentary but cant believe that no one mentioned the fact that Komodo Dragons have a venomous bite. They bite prey & then wait for the venom to slow it down / kill it.........This is such an important fact about the Komodos but its not mentioned at all in this documentary........very strange.

Amazing no more then amazing
fun fact that probably lost in translations, the local natives don't call them "komodo" (the name "komodo" were actually given by westerner scientists back then). in local natives' language, they're actually called "buaya" (crocodile) or "buaya darat" (land crocodile). if you ask any other Indonesian elsewhere, "what is buaya?" they'll show you either crocodile or alligator, but if you ask the same question to local natives here, "what is buaya?" they'll show you the komodo instead ...

Faktanya dia sejenis kadal, dan bukan buaya. Kadal secara klasifikasi biologi lebih akurat. Komodo Dragon adalah nama unik yang membedakan dengan jenis kadal lainnya. Lebih mirip naga (dragon) karena lidahnya yg bercabang. Biar saja nama Komodo Dragon lebih unik, menggambarkan kadal besar dari Pulau Komodo. Penamaan Komodo Dragon sudah tepat.

I heard the voice of a bird from the far east that says your komodo is more the raptor brontosaurus. That means, it's a herbivore. It's not finding anything to it's liking so it's searching. Try pineapples, probably loves them.
