The Komodo dragons may be the stars of the Park, but many other wild animals can be caught sight of roaming freely around: reptiles, mammals, birds…
On land, lucky fauna watchers will be able to spot dozens of snake, lizard and bird species; various frogs, the Timor deer (the Komodo dragons’ favorite preys), wild horses, water buffalos, wild boars, Rinca rats (an endemic species), fruit bats, and the orange-footed scrub fowl.
Under water, the Komodo National Park is home to a breathtakingly diverse marine fauna: thousands of fish species, innumerable corals and sponges, 10 types of dolphins, 6 types of whales, dugongs, green turtles, various shark species, huge manta rays, stingrays, marine reptiles and crustaceans.
