The very large and beautiful Komodo dragon which is also known as the Komodo monitor. This species of lizard is found in the Indonesian Islands. They are massive in size with flat heads, bowed legs and long, thick tails. Their name comes from rumors that a dragon-like creature lived on the Indonesian island of Komodo.

Komodo dragons are the largest living lizards in the world. They come in many different colors - orange, blue, green and gray. According to The Smithsonian, the largest verified Komodo reached a length of 10.3 feet and weighed 366 pounds. They state that their weight may have included a substantial amount of undigested food. Typically, weights for the largest wild dragons are about 154 pounds!

Komodo dragons can briefly run up to 13 mph and they locate their prey through their strong sense of smell, even though they can see to around 1,000 feet. Just like snakes, they smell with a split or forked-tongue. They smell their prey through their tongue.....

DONNA PROCTOR FINE ART * * * * * * * * Fine art painter who also loves to shoot photography of wild life, nature and sometimes just things ... I am inspired by the beauty I see in every day life. My work is of the moment. What it was yesterday, what it is today and what it will be tomorrow is just a marker en-route to artistic self-expression. Personal expression is a life-long journey of joy, doubt, disappointment, celebration, challenges and so... With each new painting or photograph artists always feel like they could have done more, could have done it better but that's what drives us forward and lifts us to higher levels and, the best we can do is just leave behind our own personal signatures...
