HAIKO´S FILMLEXIKON KOMODO (NUR INFORMATION, REVIEW FOLGT...) Emerald Isle, North Carolina. Ein Schiff hat eine Ladung mysteriösen Inhalts an Land gebracht, vorwiegend seltene Tiere. Der Fahrer der Fracht »entsorgt« unterwegs übelriechende Eier auf dem menschenverlassenen Eiland .. und das wird nicht ohne Folgen bleiben. Wenige Jahre später. Martin lebt bei seiner Großmutter und seiner tiefreligiösen Tante Annie. Seit den grässlichen Ereignissen auf der Insel hat der Junge kein Wort mehr gesprochen, er ist in einem traumatischen Gedächtnisverlust gefangen. Ein Umstand, den seine resolute Psychologin Victoria nicht hinnehmen will. Schon seit einiger Zeit bewegt sie eine Idee, wie man die mentale Schutzmauer des Jungen vielleicht durchbrechen kann. Als sie Annie und die Großmutter davon unterrichtet, stößt sie vor allem bei Annie auf Ablehnung - die weitaus ältere Großmutter hingegen kann sich durchaus vorstellen, dass eine Konfrontation Patricks mit dem Ort der alptraumartigen Erlebnisse vielleicht seine Rettung bedeutet. Das gibt den Ausschlag: Victoria, Patrick und Annie machen sich auf zu jener Insel, auf der Patrick in die Tiefe seines Schockzustandes stürzte. Martin Gris ist inzwischen pensioniert, doch er erkennt Martin wieder und erklärt sich nicht zuletzt aus alter Sympathie bereit, die drei zur Insel zu bringen. Inzwischen, so erklärt er Victoria, wird aller Verkehr zwischen Festland und Insel nur noch mit Pontiff-Helikoptern durchgeführt ... und einer davon überfliegt gerade die altersschwache Fähre.

The Komodo dragon is the world's largest flesh-eating lizard and living reptile. This amazing creature is only found in the wild on four small Indonesian islands, where they are vulnerable to disease, volcanic activity, and competition with feral dogs and man. It lives on the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Padar, and Flores. The Komodo is an endangered species and there are only about 5,000 of them in existence around the world, including a small number kept and bred in zoos.

83. PBS: Wild Indonesia If hungry, a Komodo will eat snakes, birds, and even smaller komodos. Over shortdistances, the Dragon is capable of pursuit speeds of nearly 20 miles an hour. http://www.pbs.org/wildindonesia/dragon/

Dragons are creatures of legend, but in a world as fantastic as Indonesia, myths become reality. On a small, 22 mile long island among the thousands of Indonesian isles lives the planet's only living dragon the Komodo (Varanus komodoensis). Named after the island on which it was discovered, the Komodo Dragon has gripped the popular imagination since it was brought to the attention of the world in 1910. Lieutenant van Steyn van Hensbroek, a member of the occupying Dutch colonials, learned rumors of a "land crocodile," a creature purportedly over 20 feet long. In time, van Hensbroek caught and killed a six foot Komodo. Then, in 1926, American W. Douglas Burden went on an expedition to research the creatures, and named them "dragons." Today, the Komodo Dragon still has many names. Locals call it the ora, others the biawak raksasa, which means "giant monitor." Whatever one calls it, the Komodo is one of the more remarkable and unusual predators found on Earth. It is a reptile, a not-to-distant relative of the snake; both animals share a forked tongue. Dragons can reach 10 feet in length, and weigh as much as 300 pounds. Though it resembles one, the Komodo is not a direct descendant of the dinosaurs. They do, however, share a common ancestor from some 300 million years ago. On Komodo, the dragon is king. It eats any and all of the other large animals on the island, including wild boar, deer, water buffalo, dogs and goats. If hungry, a Komodo will eat snakes, birds, and even smaller Komodos. Over short distances, the Dragon is capable of pursuit speeds of nearly 20 miles an hour. But for the most part, they hunt with a combination of stealth and power. Concealed in brush, a Komodo will wait until prey such as a wild boar walks past. Then in a sudden aggressive move, the Dragon will burst from its hiding place.

What, do I have to dress up in women's clothes to get a laugh?" If the words "from the writer of Anaconda " don't have you ducking for cover, you may be a bad movie lover. If some twisted form of lip-smacking zeal was inspired in you by a late night viewing of Bats , your crap cinema addiction may indeed be terminal. But if you ever wish to test your dedication to all things schlockfilmic, might we suggest Komodo The thing about Komodo dragons is that despite their bitchin' moniker, they're not really on the Top Ten List Of Scary Animals That Might Show Up In A Horror Movie. In fact, you'd have to search pretty hard to find someone who would even consider the noble Komodo dragon for his list of phobias, especially when compared to bats, rats, spiders, lions, dogs, and all those other fearsome animals to which we have had more exposure. The irony here is that Komodo dragons are among the worst of predators with which you might want to find yourself in actual contact: they can grow as large as 10 feet long and weigh over 300 pounds, and have been known to kill humans occasionally. Most of us are simply unaware of these facts because the Komodos are a relatively rare species which live only on a few Indonesian islands. A woman, some guns and a dead body.

About Komodo Dragons “The Komodo dragon, as befits any creature evoking a mythological beast, has many names. It is also the Komodo monitor, being a member of the monitor lizard family, Varanidae, which today has one genus, Varanus. Residents of the island of Komodo call it the ora. Among some on Komodo and the islands of Rinca and Flores, it is buaya darat (land crocodile), a name that is descriptive but inaccurate; monitors are not crocodilians. Others call it biawak raksasa (giant monitor), which is quite correct; it ranks as the largest of the monitor lizards, a necessary logical consequence of its standing as the largest lizard of any kind now living on the earth . Within the scientific community, the dragon is Varanus komodoensis. And most everyone calls it simply the Komodo.” Claudio Ciofi The Komodo dragon is an ancient species whose ancestors date back over 100 million years. The varanid genus originated between 25 and 40 million years ago in Asia. The Komodo descended from this species and evolved to its present form over four million years ago. The Komodo is long lived (as are most of the larger reptilian species) with an estimated life expectancy of over 50 years in the wild. In keeping with its longevity, the Komodo matures late in life, becoming sexually viable at five to seven years, and achieving maximum body density in fifteen years. Komodos are sexually dimorphous, which means males are bigger than females. The largest recorded specimen was 3.13 meters in length and was undoubtedly a male. Females rarely exceed 2.5 meters in length. What is perhaps more important, is that the characteristic bulk is achieved by older dominant males in clearly delineated territorial areas. As an adult Komodo can consume up to 80% of its body weight in one gorging, weight is a highly variable factor, and is largely dependent on the most recent feeding. A typical weight for an adult Komodo in the wild is 70 kilograms.

Color Brown/Gray Size The average male komodo reaches a length of around seven to eight feet, whilst the females are shorter at around five to seven feet. The record for the largest dragon ever seen is ten feet long, weighing in excess of 365 lbs. Life Span In the wild komodo's can live up to 50 years old, whereas in zoos they live to around 20 years. Distribution The komodo dragon can only be found on three islands in Indonesia, these are, Flores, Komodo and Rinca. Prey Komodo's eat a wide range of food found on the island including, deer, pigs, smaller komodo dragon's, rodents, insects, lizards, birds and eggs. Scientists believe that they used to eat pygmy elephants, which are now extinct. Swimmers? Yes. komodo's have been known to swim up to 1.5 miles in search of prey on neighboring islands. They will swim there and eat all they can before swimming back to their own territory. Komodo dragons were not discovered by westerners until 1912, and ever since their habitat has been threatened by the human population on the island. Despite this the komodo population has stayed stable, although they are listed as a vulnerable species on the World Conservation Union's 'Red List of Threatened Animals'.

Harlow left this state of endangered bears and rodents to travel halfway around the world to help study an entirely different kind of animal experts say is not technically endangered but whose worldwide range is confined to four islands in southern Indonesia. "The whole experience was outstanding for me," he said last week. "It gave me a chance to work on an animal that was so much different than what I work on here in Wyoming." Harlow said the experience was an enlightening one both culturally and scientifically.

The 90-foot lizard is covered from horn to tail in blue and gray scales, and the neck is half the length of the body and holds up an angular head. Fire spews toward the ground between sharp and uneven teeth. The dragon's name is D'Artagnan. For centuries and across nationalities, dragons have held a place of deep fascination in the human psyche. They are fire-breathing devils or, as the Chinese believe, especially now during the Year of the Dragon, they are harbingers of good luck.

Welcome to Skagit Valley Herald Online! Updated Daily by 12 Noon PST Current Date: Saturday, May 22, 2004 LOCAL NEWS SPECIAL REPORTS LOCAL SPORTS OBITUARIES ... TULIP FESTIVAL Some facts about the Komodo Dragon By Tim Davis, Elaine Korsmo, Big Lake Elementary Have you ever heard of the Komodo Dragon? It's the world's largest living reptile. The Komodo Dragon was unknown outside their native home in Indonesia until 1912 when stories about "land crocodiles" spurred people to investigate further. These are amazing lizards that you should learn more about. If you're interested, then read my article. By the end, hopefully you'll agree with me about these great lizards! The Komodo Dragon is the largest lizard in the world, growing as long as ten feet in length. They have a thick neck and a flattened body, and the males typically weigh about 200 pounds, and the females 150 pounds. There are only an estimated 1,000 to 5,000 of these Monitor lizards alive today. They live in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rintja, Padar, Flores, Gili, Mota, Owadi, Sami, and, of course, zoos throughout the world. The Komodo Dragon likes lowland areas, mainly open with grasslands and palm trees. The Komodo Dragon is an extremely quick reptile. They can run as fast as a dog just for stretching. They eat snakes, birds, deer, rodents and other animals. Komodos usually live for about 20 years, and can lose teeth and replace them like sharks. The female has about 15 eggs a year, and bury them in the ground to incubate.
