Brief Description
"These volcanic islands are inhabited by a population of around 5,700 giant lizards, whose appearance and aggressive behaviour have led to them being called 'Komodo dragons'. They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution. The rugged hillsides of dry savannah and pockets of thorny green vegetation contrast starkly with the brilliant white sandy beaches and the blue waters surging over coral."
科莫多国家公园
"这里的火山岛上生活着大约5700只巨大蜥蜴。它们因为外观和好斗而被称作“科莫多龙”，世界其他地方尚未发现它们的生存 踪迹。这些蜥蜴引起了研究进化论的科学家们的极大兴趣。这里，干旱的热带大草原上高低不平的山坡，棘手多刺的绿色植被凹地和壮丽的白色沙滩，与珊瑚上涌动 的蓝色海水形成了鲜明对照。"
