A komodo dragon (varanus komodoensis) enjoys the sun on Komodo Island, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. As a cold blooded creature, komodo dragons are usually crawling out to warm up their body in the morning and crawl in the shade during the day.

Komodo is a large reptile species that is endemic to the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Dasani and Gili Motang.

Less than 3500 komodo are left due to human-caused habitat loss, illegal hunting and climate change. They are classified as Endangered on IUCN’s Red list.
