Komodo Dragon [:

The Komodo dragon, Varanus komodoensis, also known as the Komodo monitor, is a large species of lizard found in the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami. A member of the monitor lizard family (Varanidae), it is the largest living species of lizard, growing to a maximum length of 3 metres (9.8 ft) in rare cases and weighing up to around 70 kilograms (150 lb). Their unusual size has been attributed to island gigantism, since there are no other carnivorous animals to fill the niche on the islands where they live.

However, recent research suggests that the large size of komodo dragons may be better understood as representative of a relict population of very large varanid lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia, most of which, along with other megafauna,[died out after the Pleistocene. Fossils very similar to V. komodoensis have been found in Australia dating to greater than 3.8 million years ago, and its body size remained stable on Flores, one of the handful of Indonesian islands where it is currently found, over the last 900,000 years, "a time marked by major faunal turnovers, extinction of the island's megafauna, and the arrival of early hominids by 880 ka."

As a result of their size, these lizards dominate the ecosystems in which they live.Komodo dragons hunt and ambush prey including invertebrates, birds, and mammals. Their group behaviour in hunting is exceptional in the reptile world. The diet of big Komodo dragons mainly consists of deer, though they also eat considerable amounts of carrion.

Mating begins between May and August, and the eggs are laid in September. About twenty eggs are deposited in abandoned megapode nests or in a self-dug nesting hole.The eggs are incubated for seven to eight months, hatching in April, when insects are most plentiful. Young Komodo dragons are vulnerable and therefore dwell in trees, safe from predators and cannibalistic adults. They take about eight to nine years to mature, and are estimated to live for up to 30 years.

Komodo dragons were first recorded by Western scientists in 1910. Their large size and fearsome reputation make them popular zoo exhibits. In the wild their range has contracted due to human activities and they are listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. They are protected under Indonesian law, and a national park, Komodo National Park, was founded to aid protection efforts.

time capsule

Time flies. That's what people say . And time makes you forget . But there are things that will linger in your mind - things that aren't easy to forget . And these are some of those unforgettable ..

June , 6 1901 ( Indonesia )
The first president of this republic was born on June , 6 1901 . He was the leader of this country's struggle for independence from Netherlands . He wanted this country not to depend on other countries and to be self - sufficient . That's why he developed his trademark social self - sufficiency called Marhaenism , named a farmer , Mr . Marhaen . This farmer owned a piece of land and worked on is own land to provide income for his family. Sukarno was also one of the famous orators in the world . His powerful speeches enhanced the sense of nationalism in many Indonesian people .

June 9 , 1963
Who doesn't know Johnny Deep ? This actor , who mostly played eccentric characters , was born on June 9 , 1963 . He began his success in acting and became a teen heartthrob on the television series 21 Jump Street . But many of you may remember him for offbeat character , Captain Jack Sparrow , in Pirates Of The Caribbean . This talented actor had a hard childhood . His parents were divorced and he was under a lot of stress dealing with family problems . As a result he has several body scars from self - inflicted wounds . Hollywood's glitzy life doesn't appeal to him so he has chosen a simpler life in South of France .

June 26 , 1498
The first bristle toothbrush , with handle and bristles attached to the head of handle , was invited . A Chinese emperor used the neck hair of wild boars and hogs for the brush . Then the hairs were fixed onto a bone or bamboo handle . The invention was brought to England but people there found the boar or hog hairs too stiff and changed them with horse hairs . The use of animal hairs stopped when nylon was invented in the twentieth century .
