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.
