Komodo dragons can be found, natively, only on two islands in Indonesia Komodo and Rinca. You can decided to visit Rinca (home to approx. 1,500 dragons) which took you two and a half hours by boat (one way) from Seraya Island; plus you got to see a pod of dolphins on the way .
There is only one town (known as a kampung) on the island of Komodo, but the whole island and the seas around it are part of the Komodo National Park,its's deserveing it to call Komodo Island is the New 7 Wonders of The World, put in place in the 1980s to protect the Dragon and the other creatures of this remote island habitat. The Dragons themselves were only discovered in 1911, and the remoteness of their natural habitat adds to the feel of having stepped back to somewhere truly primeval.
The Dragons are not afraid to stand on one another to reach for the food (dangled from a pole above them) and demonstrate dominance indeed, they are known cannibals, eating their own young on occasion Occasionally they consume humans and human corpses, digging up bodies from shallow graves
They also make a distinct hissing sound when scenting food which is a warning to other Dragons to back off, although it has the same effect on humans too. The Dragons infamously have a bacteria-ridden mouth (their saliva is extremely toxic and mixed with blood) that causes death by infection from a single bite the dragons bite their prey and then track the unfortunate victim for days if necessary while waiting for it to die. (Human bite victims, if treated early with a broad range of antibiotics, do have a good chance of surviving).
When you come to the island there are rangers who always acompany you along the way to make sure everything safe.
