Existing nowhere else in the world, the most remarkable inhabitant of Komodo National Park is the Komodo Dragon. Besides the largest living lizard, the Park is a nature reserve for a great diversity of species such as manta rays, sea turtles, whales, dolphins and dugongs. The coral reefs fringing the coast of Komodo are diverse and luxuriant due to the clear water, intense sunlight, and rapid exchange of nutrient-rich water from deeper areas of the archipelago.
