    Im literally crying. Thank you Irwin family for bringing attention to this beautiful creature. The Komodo Dragon is my favorite animal in the world along with its cousin the Asian Water Monitor. They are rapidly disappearing from the world at an alarmingly fast rate. They are thought to be the family members of villagers so protected in some villages but mostly feared by people due to their size. They don’t get much National attention, so I’m beyond excited and emotional to see this now. Unfortunately most Zoos including the one near me in Houston, keep these creatures in horribly small enclosures. Hopefully this will inspire Zoos and people to not only protect them, but also to keep them in appropriately sized habitats if they are keeping them in captivity

    • @serpent6827
      @serpent6827 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Couldn't have said it better myself. Komodos and monitors in general are one of my favorites too as I have a strong love for reptiles and the animals that most people don't care for and they are all cute and awesome. This is what drew me to Steve Irwin, his family, and his zoo at a young age. The fact that they are one of the types of people that love and care for the animals that most people are repelled by. That in in of itself restores a little more of my faith in humanity. These scaly, clawed, multiple legs, and toothy creatures deserve just as much love and attention as other animals do.

      When did Komodo Dragon rapidly disappearing?
      Their natural habitat is only in an Island (Komodo Island). Their population fluctuate naturally. And the people who live there don't eat them nor do they hunt them (the Komodo attract tourism).

    I love Ragnar. I've often wondered why you guys haven't had a Komodo dragon in your show. After all They're a big giant monitor lizard. Raised right and socialized properly they can become just big giant puppy dogs. Yes I know they're also very dangerous, but I've watched enough videos from Kevin McCleary and the guys at NERD and all the other reptiles channels to know what a monitor is and about and how amazingly they take to being socialized. Congratulations Ragnar you are a new member of the Irwin Dynasty

    I've never seen a Komodo dragon but we have it's cousin in Thailand, Veranus. Like the Komodo dragon, Veranus is a monitor lizard that can get up to almost three meters and has a toxic bite, a tail like a bullwhip, and claws longer than my index finger. I have run into them while swimming at Hong, Phi Phi, and Koh Samui islands. They can move much more quickly than one would expect, they both can catch deer.

      @Deviliciouslittledevil 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Most varanus species are aggresive during feeding of preys,in terms of prey being eaten alive for a komodo will be disembowel of prey this way preys will suffer less & died,perentie simply swallow a whole rabbit alive,the bite & venom of the komodo will allow it to prey on much bigger animal for food like wild horses,buffalo,timor deers & boars,all it needs is just one bite & its game over for the prey

    • @Regfife
      @Regfife 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Don't know where you got the idea that a Komodo dragon just has to attack anything that moves. They keep it well-fed and well trained, so it has no reason to be aggressive.

    • @Deviliciouslittledevil
      @Deviliciouslittledevil 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In Mini Reptile Park Indonesia,some are kept for project of breeding them to save them from extinction,in the wild juvenile komodo are prone to cannibalism by adults & other predators most varanus species eat their own kind,to really see them hunt will be in Komodo Island Nature reserved

    • @sweetsweet3753
      @sweetsweet3753 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I went to Rinca - amazing. oddly enough the large komodos are quite habituated and hang out around the rangers quarters cause they have worked out there is easy food that way. Many wild animals seem ok to habituate once they know they are not in danger. I spent about 5 hours hiking the island with the ranger and we saw a few. Ranger just carried a long stick in case there was any form of encounter - this is where they should all be kept. I dont know anyone who when dying say "the greatest life experience i ever had was seeing a komodo in a cage" so lets just leave them in the well managed national parks - we give up so little and those amazing reptiles get to have a better quality of life more aligned with what nature had planned for them.
