- The island of Komodo in Indonesia looks like a lost paradise. But watch your step! A strange animal that can dispatch a goat or a person in two seconds flat is the dominant predator: the Komodo dragon, the largest lizard on earth.
A crew of mariners, scientists and filmmakers are followed as they cast off on the Sedna IV, an oceanographic schooner, to sail around the world exploring the beauty of nature, how ecosystems work and conservation challenges facing the planet.

Ahmad and Denny, the two Indonesians in the film, are nice and helpful persons who have the qualification in dealing with the living dinosaur. In 2018, I was hired by them (Komodo Survival Program) to run a one-month English program for the local people. It was really nice to work with them. At the end of the program, I was given a valuable chance to visit komodo island. That was an unforgettable experience I had in my life. Thanks a lot Ahmad, Denny and Sanggar.
That's amazing! Both you going there to teach them English and you've got the chance to visit that place!
@@Spielkalb-von-Sparta yes, it was really amazing. I also learned a lot about the way the local people live, the culture, and how they can live together side by side, in harmony, with the komodo dragons.
@@prambon6468 That's something you may can shed a light on. This kind of "harmony" with those vicious beasts seems odd to me. How can you live with such a thread that your children are in danger to be being attacked on their way to school or even in your own premises? Why don't they build fences against those creatures around their village to protect themselves?
@@Spielkalb-von-Sparta well, it sounds impossible for us to live with such a real threat. However, they have lived there for hundreds years and unbelievably they do not consider the beasts as something that you have to afraid of. They firmly believe that the komodos and other beasts deserve to live in their origin habitat. They even say that in the past ten years, the victims of the komodo's attacks were only four lives. Then they compare this to the loss of many lives in big and modern cities caused by car accidents, criminals, drugs, and so forth. LOL..!!!
@@prambon6468 Thanks for your answer! Wow, what a comparison! They are probably right that the death ratio in our civilised western countries are higher than theirs. But still, this is so alien to me than our world is to them, I suppose.
I'm from Papua New Guinea,
(sharing land,sea border with INDONESIA) wish sometimes I can come over to INDONESIA just To see them.
Hallo brother Ezekiel, greeting from Indonesia, we wellcome you...

Don't go there... Its a shit hole

@@varunjoshi6542..😅😂....
These people have coexisted with the Dragon for ages... they really do respect the mother nature... not only for the sake of tourism... :) Great documentary...
Why ? Why not kill those primitive animals?
Finally.. quality hd video of these magnificent creatures
Magnificent? Please. There is nothing magnificent here.
An overgrown lizard living on a few tiny isolated islands and surviving solely because of human assistance and tolerance.
@@tropickmanwho cares? It still magnificent
@@tropickman There is reason why they’re even endangered, *WHITE* … a lot of animals are critically endangered and some also need human assistance to help them, especially because of your kind mostly.
My heart broke for the lady whose son was killed by a dragon , you can see her pain before she even speaks you know that she's traumatized still. I wish that I could do something for her.
It's pretty crazy that the Dragons attack and even kill people once in a while.
That's a very, very large, aggressive lizard.
And dear lord - the villagers give the dragons a goat now and then so hopefully they won't attack their children, and activists call it 'cruel?'
But children being attacked by giant killer lizards is perfectly fine?
WTF?
bad management is a source of misunderstanding, both opinion is stupid i think the government must put ppl in a different place/safer environment or just let the land empty.
Fr
@Omar Cuenca Nobody should care about this. It's not like they're giving goats for nothing. They give them to save them from attacks.
@@anonymouspokemon4623 The DEMOCRATS give 1000s of people to die under the laws created by the DEMONAZIS,,that means KOMODO dragons kill once in a while to eat and not to control a hood!! FUCK THE DEMOCRATS!!!
@Omar Cuenca
Humans can kill or destroying anything they want, but that's not how a wise human think
I like seeing all different people coming together....
Try Heaven
Just recently found this channel and I must say WOW. Hooked from the first video, amazing content.
I think it would be neat if they would live stream the Island and we could watch them live on youtube
There is no internet access in that island
@@poopice. you still can do it if you access to broadband satelite internet. it was too expensive for ordinary people but not for well known production house
@@poopice. i didn't know that
GREAT IDEA!! THAT SUCKS thst there's no internet there! I wonder why?
there are people on the ocean with inet i guess it should be possible ,but the island is big u wount see alot
Its so amazing.. i shed tears at the end of the story, some people live between the beauty of nature and dangerous animals
An incredible video. I love the respect the villagers have for nature. If other humans around the planet had the same respect for nature as these villagers, our planet and all its creatures including humans would be thriving. Unfortunately the dominant human only cares about money and our planet and all its creatures are suffering for it.
I'm afraid the respect is borne out of belief in a myth, if a komodo dragon dares to attack me and I have a knife, I'd use it.
Greed hurts. Overpopulation stems from i think mostly non scientific people who are mostly religious fanatics who are living 3000 years ago when the earths human populace was prolly 80% less than today maybe 92%
@@Viral-trendsz I don't think that has a lot to do with the original comment, but ok.
@@Viral-trendsz self defense and senseless eradication born out of fear are two different things. I'm sure these people would defend their families and themselves but they don't decide to kill every dragon on the island after a death occurs. For some reason most people believe we are above the food chain and there is some unwritten law for predators not to eat us.
Wrong and right at the same time. We care about money, yes. We build factories to make it, yes. But we also OVERHUNT more than any of that. Look up how many species were killed off by us before the Industrial Revolution, spoiler: it’s a very good amount. My point? Overhunting contributes around the same if not more, pollution will most likely overcome that in the coming decade though however. We wipe out anything that’s a threat to us even though it is nature for them to feed on us, we’re not gods we’re animals too and we can be prey. Not that we’d want to, not even prey wants to be prey. But when you target predator species to extinction, that’s an issue. Lions we’re all over the world! And now they’re considered an African animal, how heartbreaking is that? How about the rhino species that have gone extinct? Or the elephant species such as the Assyrian elephant, and it was said to be Hannibal, from the Punic wars, that had a one tusked larger than usual elephant and it was thought to be one of the last Assyrian elephants. There were other elephants too actually they’re just gone now because we’ve decimated their habitats. Lots and lots of birds are gone now, used to be one in North America that covered the sky and blacked the sky for days on end when it migrated. We shot them out of the sky too much for too many years and they’re now gone 😢
I like to think that these dragons exist… what a beautiful and terrifying animal.
Who else love watching real wild
Nature teaching is it
me, I love wildlife
Me I love wildlife I what 2 save all animals from being killed
@@2talljones863 ? nylon m0
To the people who say they are very brutal and coward animals, other predators eat prey alive too. Just because they eat a buffalo alive makes you hate them ?! honestly who cares, they need to do what they need to do to live and survive
I'm no longer going to complain about the squirrels in my yard.
In the absence of predators we have crazy drivers which probably results in even more injuries and fatalities .
Lol
Why would you complain about squirrels in the first place? You get mad that birds fly by too?
LOL...

I love the way they walk with a swagger 😎
I'd tell the animal rights activists that if they want a say they must live in the same area for at least one year with their family. Then and only then can they tell other people what to do.
It's easy to judge if you are safe and protected. It's far different when you have boots on the ground.
Columbus discovered America. who they think the people (native) live there.
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost the password. I appreciate any tips you can give me!
So true, especially western people who call themselves activist or animal rights on social media who live with privilege comfortable life easily judge to POC from developing countries
I came here twice, being in this place is really like being in Jurassic Park in a movie.. Komodo island is Wonderful..
I don't think these match up to a t-rex or even a raptor
Glad you think so. I think I will go other places.
@@nobrakes425 of course, but T rex today only exist on books
@@georgesealy4706 I'm share the same thoughts. These things are ugly, very dangerous and cause alot of suffering and death for other animals that live on that island. If such creatures existed in hell, then these things seem to be direct descendants of them.
@@nobrakes425 it matches up with mosasaurus u should watch tier zoo
kita sebagai orang Indonesia merasa bangga memiliki hewan yg langka ini terutama pulau Rinca (flores) karna hewan ini hidup di pulau flores jadi hewan ini adalah merupakan kekayaan pulau flores tersebut (it's really natural) ~ semoga bapak president joko widodo memberi perlindungan yg cukup kpd comodo ini Dan memindahkan kan orang orang yg bermukim di sekitar pulau comodo ini ke lokasi lain biar comodo nya tidak merasa terganggu Dan demi keselamatan orang orang itu juga. karna setahu saya di pulau flores itu banyak lahan yg bisa di gunakan utk membangun sebuah kampung atau mereka bisa pindah ke Dompu, raba, bima atau ke sumbawa semua pulau ini sangat dekat dgn comodo park jadi tergantung pemerintah bagai mana cara mengatur orang orang tersebut.
Got here because of the recent issues, the Indonesian government is in a way building tourism facilities in this exotic rinca island.
Pray for the good for all of the lizard and society.
Could you give the source of the news?
@@Sheradhien there are so many point of views related rinca island tourism development, just google it.
35:00 the government should allocate funds from the proceeds of tourism to compensate the victims of Dragon attacks! They should cover disability payments as well as the cost of livestock lost to the dragons. The poor locals cannot be left out of this tourism bonanza if the dragons are to be protected in the long run.
damn they can charge so fast?! if i ever encounter one, i’ll be sure to keep my distance.
Well, komodo is kind something like when you drink 5 Redbull cans....
That will be a surprise.
If ur a slow runner just do zig zag cuz they only can charge straight and they will stop chasing
@@Fitrimanan8 *you noob*
They are apex predator.
@@harukrentz435 only because no one wants to eat them! haha
A little like my cat when he’s mad. Except I use a pillow to push him away instead of a tree branch.
Great documentary. Great speakage.
I'm proud to see two of my messenger bags. One with reflective a stripe .wonderful work keep those dinosaurs alive and growing
What a great documentary very educational on the species. They are the apex predator & you have to be aware of your surroundings just like anywhere else . You don't want to get caught lacking. They are def ruthless & merciless once they smell blood they are on it.
As a biologist and native people of Flores Island, Indonesia, I think one of the main reason why Komodo still exist until this era is the female komodo can reproduce without male or called parthenogenesis.
(37:22) "Here spiritual values, beliefs, and mythologies do more to safe guard this endangered species, than the concepts or protection and nature conservation" that's pretty deep. Their ways that have been utilized for centuries were more effective than more sophisticated methods of conservation. These people even with the defense of the Komodo's attack will only deter the creature away instead or attack back out of revenge or malice. "It ate one of our children, but no hard feelings .... it was fate" As crazy as that sounds, I still respect that mindset. They truly have a serious outlook on the respect of this modern day dinosaur. :)
Can’t believe how huge they are
Truly appreciate natural world! Venomous and deadly lizard 🦎👌🏻🗺️
i often wonder how many old time pirates and people stopping on the beach = 200 - 300 years ago ! only to be attacked by the dragons and bitten - got sick died = eaten at night while asleep on the beach area ! - camp fires - after dinner ! smelling the cooking and out they come ! horror nightmare !
These dragons look like they are on a photoshoot! Wonderful creatures!
Yeah wonderful...so full of wonder. I wonder when they will go extinct. It will be a good riddance.
Why are they wonderful? What purpose do they serve.. They’re disgusting and we would be just fine without them….
Thanks _Real wild_Very good Documentary
Have them feed poachers to the dragons....save their food supply.
My exact philosophy for poachers.
African poachers too
Correction African wildlife poachers too
Completely agree. Feed the poachers to the dragons. watch the poaching problem dry up. lmao
Don't forget politicians!
This is the real Jurassic Park 🔥🔥
*sees recent news* please take your words back :")

While I agree, of course, that the dragons should be protected, if I was a villager I'd be building a wall or fence around human areas to protect the kids and people.
They actually cohabitate pretty well. The dragons hand around the rangers stations as well as all their prey like deer and boars and monkeys. It’s almost like hallowed ground. Lol key word almost. Of course people should have common sense and not go to close to them regardless
Yes
I would move
the villager try to, the dragon to strong they easily knock any fence....
Excellent video !!! salute Mr Achaad Ariefiandy and Mr Deni Purwandana the local biologist.. proud of Indonesia
Why is it that scientists get to say they "discovered" an animal when they know for good God dog fact that it's already been discovered by the people of the land?
Scientists are not thinking about such nonsense...who told you that or where is it written...
BECAUSE THEY ARE AMERICAN = the biggest ego`s around !
yes its little bit egoistic for euroatlantic civilizations, but they think it was discovered for a scientific community or for the whole world, because then most people on the planet can learn about the existence of such a creature.
@@tomasvlcek2725 And what is wrong or egoistic about that?
@@tom0968 It's egoistic for those people who live for centuries with those creatures and then,in today, read that it was discovered eg 1911 ....
This video educates is humans to be well aware of the Komodo dragon well existence for the next generation! ✌🙏💗
The best way to protect any species is to preserve it habitat from humans and to leave them alone, especially from tourist and people with good intention who only want to watch like visitors in a zoo, good intentions, often has negative unintended consequences , sadly humans are always looking for way to exploit nature for scientific and economic reasons....
Its useless. Komodo can swim for kilometers, how do you think they arrived in those isolated islands all the way from Australia? The locals and Komodo respect each other, theyve been living together for thousand of years. Let them be.
You couldn't pay me millions of dollars to live there...this is a nightmare!!!
Film dokumenter yang bagus 👍👍👍
Amazing creatures 😊
the indonesia goverment must keep population komodo forever, cuz komodo is the real dinosaur until now.
Great workers and a good documentary of Komoda.
beautiful animal, great documentry
The lady is so wise about the Komodo's! I wish people would see wolves the same way! They are theyere, they have a purpose. It's wrong for us to object to them because it interferes with us interferring with them!
Imagine you're going about your day, and suddenly 15 people gag you, blindfold you, hog tie you, and weigh you, before undoing it and sending you on your way... lmao, at least he got free lunch out of it. It just looks so silly, but that's just the way to do it, I guess.
They're so cute, I'm glad they're so well protected and respected by the locals. Big chonky bois.
Hopefully Indonesia can to protect the Komodo from the killer and hunter....I love Indonesia ❤️I love Komodo, we must save Komodo together
A really good documentary. 👍
they really do respect the mother nature
21:22 def increase the heartbeat

So sad! I had no idea this was happening to Komodo's. I will do my best to spread awareness!!

Venomous dinos.!!!

The safety of children is more important to me then Kamodo
agree
Wonderful and amazing creatures until they catch your child and split him in half when you will be looking and wondering how amazing is this creature how beautiful what a wonder
Lol
Still beautiful. If you let your kid near a Komodo alone, you failed as a parent and the lizard succeeded as a hunter lol nature doesn't care about feelings, kid.

Normally, I’m opposed to cremation, but the presence of Komodo dragons could change my mind.
komodo dragon is the real dinosaur until now.
Nah ur wrong
Wait can you use the tags to identify the dragon on the camera some how ?????? Kinda like when it gets close it beeps
Love to watch wild animals
crazy to think those dragons can catch a deer or buffalo and kill it. wow what a beautiful area
Super content , amazing landscape panoramic too
great documentary
I love how people talk abt how terrible it would be to live by KD's but fail to relapse how much more dangerous our cities are look at the death rates
I wish they had wings. How cool would that be?
@Xavier Ramos Philpot 😅 yup👍...
Those are very rare! I've seen one. A buddy of mine, his name is Pete, he's got a very nice one.
They now know they are venomous and very intelligent as well, and they have a very powerful sense of smell. They can bite a water buffalo or deer or pig which will collapse from the venom in the bite in a few days. I suppose the animal collapses from organ damage. They use to think their prey died from bacteria in the bite, but they now know it is venom. Anyway after biting their pray they will track it until it lies down, then they dig in for a feed.
Why is it that pigs are such a favorite prey for wild animals?

😂😂😂
Komodos are facing "dangers"?---Good...now is the time to finish 'em off.
This half baked video could mislead people into thinking that Komodo live side by side with people in one island. The truth is more complicated than that. First of all Komodo is an evasive animal, they came hundred kilometers away from Australia thousand years ago. Just like another evasive animal, they are equipped with highly sophiscated survival tools. Not only they look menacingly big, venomous, rapid, and able to reproduce without male they can also DIVE AND SWIM from island to island. No village is safe from them.
Yeah don't even think of getting near a hungry Komodo dragon those things will kill you in the most painful way , and if you did manage to survive you would lose your limbs cuz their venom will rot your meat
i must say.
GREAT VIDEO..!!!
appreciated
I wonder if using drones would be a good cheap and effective way of monitoring the Komodo dragons
Cause they are considered a monitor lizard...
@@shanesmith9820 You sure would want to monitor one very closely if near by.
they NEED to measure everything you uncultured swine

Hello my friend thanks for sharing keep up the great work GOD bless you'll like it all . love you'll
Talking about not needing a man to reproduce!!!.. such an amazing species!!
but we men are de agressive ones
The best Komodo video I have ever watched.
Just for a clarification sake ... Nobody sane was poaching the Komodos . It's their prey that get poached which in turn dwindling their allready scarce food sources . The Central Govs were allready starting tightening the coast patrol between the island proper and quite a bit heavy handed in giving the punishment too ... But , the damages were allready done and it takes time for the nature to adjust and correct it self ...
At the end of the day poverty was the bane for all civillization . Before 1997 crisis nobody even bother to poach some shitty water buffalos and deers in remote areas not to mention the area get poached was the dreaded Rinca and komodo islands .
Awesome comment. Thanks for the clarification.
That's a good thing with these monsters
This is the real jurasic park..only on the island of Komodo Indonesia ... come and enjoy its natural beauty and be faced with animals that only exist in Indonesia and enjoy the excitement
Why don’t the government fence in the villages that way the villagers animals children and ppl can be protected to a point. Much better then no protection the villagers and their animals have now. The government is the one making all the money off tourism.
To much like right
Until when the gov are supposed to codle them . Their relation were allready goes way back for hundred or might be thousand years and nobody knows exact time anyway . Who are we to judge and patronize their society . It's part of their culture and heritages . The moment central govs are starting to regulates something without the locals or population aprovals or consent that would be the moment Indonesia are fractured and balkanized .
they can climb tree, i dont know about the fence
@@noefvon only the smaller ones . Even that was a tall order for them when they reach a certain sizes
Good Documentary.
Maybe there should be a deer breeding and releasing program so there is plenty of food for the dragons....but I'm nobody js.
I don't think it's any kids destiny to be killed by a dragon like the kids father said. So SAD
If they don't want to kill the dragons more walls should be built and the kids should at least be armed with weapons .
not the dragons fault
not sad.. but dumb
Yup people shouldn’t living among these dangerous animals

You think that you can tame it?
There is no peaceful co existence with creatures such as these. The park service there just protects them and people just try to stay out of their way.
There wild animals wild animals need 2 be in the wild and free
I'm throwing hatred glances at the poor gecko on the wall, after watching this...🤣
what the beautiful island
Beautiful video and documentary, thank you. I agree about respecting and not hurting the dragons BUT If a dragon kills a child or any person, that one needs to die. We should not value a lizard's life over the life of a child.
It's crazy how these people value these creatures like a God than any other country with theirs. I never understood why protect the most dangerous apex predators on the planet. If that were some other animals, including crocodiles. They would have a witch hunt, but komodo dragons.
No, you’re definitely wrong on that one, white.
Thank you for the upload im eating a pound of crawfish and drinking a 12-pack of heineken beer I'm ready for this
Wonderful place
Yeah until they kill a child and imagine if if the was yours
