Just off the west coast of Labuan Bajo is Komodo Island, home to the Komodo Dragon. These rather large lizards (up to 70 kilos and 3 meters) have been lounging around the islands off the coast of Flores for centuries and many myths about them have sprung up. But it's true that if they get hungry enough, groups of them can take down a deer, a water buffalo, and even the occasional, careless tourist.
