Indonesia
🎧  Listen to Introduction

These volcanic islands are home to about 5,700 giant lizards, known as Komodo dragons for their appearance and aggressive behavior. They are unique elsewhere in the world and are of great significance to scientists studying evolution. The rugged slopes of the dry savannah and the thorny green vegetation contrast with the bright white sand beaches and blue waters surging over the corals.
