Komodo |
The Komodo region is unique due to its distinct
geographical location between two different marine
environments. Its island group is situated between the
island of Sumbawa and Flores where warmer Northern
water from Flores and Banda Sea converge with the colder
Southern water from the Indian Ocean. There exist a wide
range of weather conditions such as wind exposure,
current , and wave action which all contribute to this rich
marine environment. In addition, the upwelling caused by
the deep ocean currents colliding with the Continental
shelf provides an endless supply of plankton food toward
the surface, producing exceptional coral gardens and
attracting abundant marine life.
The diversity ranges from Whale sharks, Mantas, Eagle
rays, Sunfish,Clown frogfish, Ghost pipefish, Nudibranch,
to the Blue-ringed octopus, and Pygmy seahorse. The
large number and variety of colorful Coral and Sponge,
Sea squirts, and Tunicates provide a paradise for the
macro enthusiast. There is a estimated 900-1000 fish
species marking Komodo National Park as one of the
World's richest marine habitats. Dolphins, Hawksbill
turtle,and Green turtle frequent the park waters, and the
Hawksbill turtles nest in the park. Whales are often spotted
during their migration through the area.
The Komodo and Rinca Islands are well known as the
indigenous home for the Komodo dragon, one of the
World's largest lizards. The National Park is designated as
a World Heritage site for their protection and preservation.
Nature walks can be arranged from the Ranger stations
and escorted walks through both Komodo and Rinca offer
a scenic and memorable experience in the remote habitat
of Komodo region. Hikers will also most likely see wild
Boar, Buffalo, Deer, and if lucky, maybe one of few
elusive wild Horses.
