Komodo
Giant lizard's homeland
Komodo is an Indonesian island east of Java, home to the Komodo dragon—the world's largest living lizard, reaching ten feet in length.
The island and its surrounding waters form Komodo National Park.
In casual use, Komodo usually refers to the dragon itself: We saw Komodos at the zoo.
