Description

Rough Tough is a portrait of a Komodo Dragon mixed with mixed media to show the rough textures of this fabulous creature from Indonesia.
Komodo dragons live in a remote area in Indonesia in the Komodo National Park located East of Bali and Lombok.

These giant lizards belong to the reptile family. Their scientific name is Varanus komodoensis.

Komodos have a life span of 50 years! Their length is about 3 meters 10 feet and they weight around 70 kg 155 pounds.

They can swim in the open sea and are actually very good swimmer. They swim from one island to another island inside the Komodo National Park. They usually change of island to find food and their favourite prey or during the mating season to find a receptive female in order to make babies. However it is very rare to see them swimming in the open sea.

They have been discovered one hundred years ago in 1910 when a plane WWI pilot crashed into the Komodo sea. He swam to the Komodo Island and discovered this new specie. Then in 1912, a scientific expedition was carried on and they captured several dragons.

They are the largest lizards on earth.
