It's admirable how the people treat Komodo dragons as part of the island rather than in conflict with it. So many cases with the natural world, people are the threat not the other way around. These inhabitants understands that better than most.

​@kingpickle3712 It's not stupid; it's part of living life. Let's not victim blame. What happened happened, and it's none of their faults. Predators exist and should not be dismissed for being predators. Living ingrained with the wild is rewarding and dangerous, and for some it's their way of life, and I personally do not judge them harshly for it.

[@jasonhiggins.3853]

Great documentary but cant believe that no one mentioned the fact that Komodo Dragons have a venomous bite. They bite prey & then wait for the venom to slow it down / kill it.........This is such an important fact about the Komodos but its not mentioned at all in this documentary........very strange.

[@sambaron1319]

I don't think it's a venom. I believe is that their mouth is full of bacteria that will kill, eventually, the pray. Just like anaconda...

No they do not have a venomous bite, it is the saliva in the mouth that contains toxic bacteria, and it is this bacteria that enter a wound left by their teeth.

fun fact that probably lost in translations, the local natives don't call them "komodo" (the name "komodo" were actually given by westerner scientists back then). in local natives' language, they're actually called "buaya" (crocodile) or "buaya darat" (land crocodile). if you ask any other Indonesian elsewhere, "what is buaya?" they'll show you either crocodile or alligator, but if you ask the same question to local natives here, "what is buaya?" they'll show you the komodo instead ...

[@JohnAvillaHerpetocultural]

Ours is more accurate. Crocodilians aren’t even lepidosaurs.

[@wjalfi4216]

Faktanya dia sejenis kadal, dan bukan buaya. Kadal secara klasifikasi biologi lebih akurat. Komodo Dragon adalah nama unik yang membedakan dengan jenis kadal lainnya. Lebih mirip naga (dragon) karena lidahnya yg bercabang. Biar saja nama Komodo Dragon lebih unik, menggambarkan kadal besar dari Pulau Komodo. Penamaan Komodo Dragon sudah tepat.

Indonesia has gotta be one of the only places in the world where the human population knows well that they're just guests in the ecosystem, and not its owners and rulers by default by virtue of being human alone. I really wish more cultures were like that.

[@bewilder210]

Indonesian here, most of Indonesian have something that is called "Kearifan lokal" or local wisdom. This is very prevalent in Indonesia country side and the people upheld them + very strict about it, and it helped preserved the nature in the respective area. One of many thing in which our local wisdom actually helped to preserve nature is the story of Mount Salak. The locals there will tell people from outside the area about ghost / djinn story in there, about how people missing there, and the mountain is a very sacred area. Of course modern human will say all of that bogus, and I can agree with that. However, those stories worked and Mount Salak still preserved its natural habitat up until now, and Mount Salak is actually an important water source for the surrounding cities. If there was not a single local wisdom that making Mount Salak sacred, all the natural habitat there will be gone already, filled with resorts and hungry investor, and more importantly losing natural water source that can support the surrounding cities.

@@M43782 I agree, Im not saying that there werent problems regarding environmental "purity" in Indonesa, in fact there are alot of problems here.
