The Komodo Dragon

The Komodo Dragon lizard, discovered by the West in 1910, is the world's largest lizard and can grow up to three metres (almost ten feet) in length. Average lifespan is around twenty years. They live on a small number of Indonesian islands, including the eponymous Komodo Island itself. Their preferred habitat is dry, hot places such as open grassland. They are currently classified as a vulnerable species however they could become endangered.
Komodos are part of the awesome monitor lizard family. They can see up to 300 metres and their eyes are better adapted to seeing movement than stationary objects. Komodo dragons were initially thought to be completely deaf, however more recent research has shown that they can hear, albeit in a restricted frequency range.
The Komodo's main hunting sense is that of smell. The lizard samples the air with its tongue then returns the two tongue tips to the mouth where the air is "analysed". A Komodo dragon can sense the smell of carrion up to four kilometres (two and a half miles) away.
Given their size, Komodo dragons are not built for a long chase - however they can sprint at up to 20 kilometres per hour (12 miles per hour) for short periods of time. Their preferred hunting strategy to get food is thus to sit quietly in one spot waiting for something big and tasty to come near

BAÑOS EXOTIC PLACE

BAÑOS - TRAVEL AND TOUR

Baños lies four hours from the capital city of Quito; it is a peaceful little city on the slopes of Tungurahua Volcano at 1,820 meters above sea level. This Andean village is surrounded by snowcapped volcanoes and has wonderful thermal springs. The impressive snowcapped volcanic peaks that surround Baños are four in number: TUNGURAHUA (5,061m), CHIMBORAZO (6,310m), ALTAR (5,320m) and CARIHUAIRAZO (5,020m). Baños is in a valley forming a "biological corridor" between two national parks: "Sangay National Park", facing northward on the right side, named a World Heritage and a kind of continental "Galapagos"; and, on the left side, "Llanganates National Park". Located in a valley of waterfalls and hot winds in the province of Tungurahua, Baños has become an interesting destination for international travelers seeking a temperate climate all year round. It has a small-town atmosphere, and is the starting point for exploring outdoors Ecuador. Four hours by bus from Quito, Baños offers adventure sports such as trekking, horse-trekking, canoeing, mountain climbing and mountain bike. It also offers easy access to Riobamba, the nearby capital of the Province of Chimborazo; likewise, it is the starting point of an exciting train trip that will take us to the coast or to Puyo, one of the entry points to the Amazon River. Baños is also an excellent place to learn Spanish, as its population is famous for good pronunciation. During the week, Baños is a sanctuary of peace and quiet. The big events here are the occasional traditional Andes produce fair and the English-spoken film shown nightly in the movie theater or the town chapel; However, on weekends and feast days Baños becomes a "carnival town". This "mountain-spa" has 13,000 inhabitants, is on the right bank of the Pastaza river, and is one of the few places on Earth where the four primeval elements come together: the fire of the volcanoes, the water of the waterfalls and rivers, the wind and the soil; this creates a kind of energy-giving center that is ideal for enjoying nature and renewing one's vigor. From the remotest times this place attracted many visitors. It is a fact that Indian chieftains used to come to Baños with their consorts to recover their health after battles. Currently, travelers from all over the world come here seeking adventure; some people, deeply impressed by its beauty, have even stayed to live here. One of its main attractions is seeing the smoke and ashes spewed forth by the Tungurahua crater form ghostly shapes and present incandescent shows on the horizon, overawing viewers with this really indescribably majestic display of nature's might. Baños is a valley surrounded by waterfalls, with a total of 57. The "Virgin's Fall" is a unique case in Ecuador of a waterfall within city limits. Another singularly beautiful fall is "El Manto de la Novia" (Bride's Veil), with its 80 meter height. However, the most impressive one is "Pailon del Diablo" or "Rio Verde", considered to be one of the ten main falls in the world with its 100 or so meter height. Here the water falls sheerly over a gigantic wall of rock, shaking the ground with its impact. In this beautiful mountain spa, the Andean forest combines with the high Amazonian forest, generating an unimaginable biodiversity, and producing 165 recognized native species - the same number that exist on the Galapagos Islands.
