This animal photograph was taken by me at local zoological facility using a telephoto lens setting on my camera. In case you fail to recognize this very large lizard, it is commonly called a Komodo Dragon. The actual species name is Varanus Komodoensis and it is the largest type of Monitor lizard in existence today. Another common Name for it is the Komodo Monitor. It gets it's common name because it originates from Indonesia on the Islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores, Gili Motang and Padar. In the wild it is an ambush predator that lies in wait to attack it's prey.
