Some of the wild creatures of Indonesia, starting with the Komodo Dragon, which can be 10 feet (3 meters) long and which can attack and eat humans; and ending with the Orang Utan. Orang-utans usually live on their own. Recently, 80 per cent of the orang-utan habitat has disappeared, due to logging, farming and plantations. The market in orang-utans for pets thrives in Taiwan, where the population of orang-utans per square kilometre in the capital, Taipei, has been estimated to be greater than in their natural habitat. Many thousands of monkeys, including Macaques from Indonesia, are used in cruel animal experiments.

Nov 18, 2008 - Is it me or have I seen hippos in your movie (right after the little white monkey) ? That for sure puzzles me a lot as hippos are only found in Africa :-)) Or your movie was in fact shot in a zoo ...
KentClark3 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - You are correct. There are hippos at Taman Safari, Bogor. This video was shot in more than one place.

Nov 18, 2008 - The trick is getting out of its jaws once it bites. And their pretty fast, so no limping during your escape.

Nov 18, 2008 - Please try in some way to raise money and donate to save the Orangutans. Go to Google and type in Orangutan and you will find several good organizations to donate to. Thanks.

Nov 18, 2008 - Komodo dragons are awesome- thanks for posting this. It's a disgrace that the Bronx Zoo doesn't have any...

Nov 18, 2008 - Thing is, although crocs are a lot bigger and tougher, they will release you if you punch them in the eye, hell they will even run from you, but a dragon won't
DjChopStixs Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - it depends, a komoto dragon has an agent in its saliva that slowly kills the infected victim. alot of times the komoto dragon will release its prey (ex. deer, pigs.) and slowly hunt them down and eat them. :) but alot of the time your correct. they will eat you whole. and or alive..

Nov 18, 2008 - Komodo dragons doesnt bite that hard but they inflict sickness and they are much more brutal!
NickXCIII Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - true and that is a scary fact....CHEW!!

Nov 18, 2008 - Kamodo's are extremely agile - and cold blooded. I read once that a pack of them attacked a german tourist sunbathing on a beach - all that remained of the poor chap were his sunglasses & binoculars. Apparently it is advised to remain extremely calm & still if approached by a komodo - Yeh right - I know for a fact I wouldn't !!!
ChilliSoNawfty Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - komodo dragons have so much bacteria in their mouths when they bite it infects bad
SaSin1 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - is it true that the Komodo's direct ancestors were the dinosaurs, or is there really no link between them?
nopember Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - The Komodo seems to be descended from the dinsaur.
youie748 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Thats right, infact if I remember correctly its the infection from the bacteria that kills.
londono3 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - I'm sure way back he's related but he's just a very large lizard that humans haven't killed off yet. But we will. We always do.
brettnes5 Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - i was watching animal planet and they linked komodos with the T-rex..but sometimes cant believe everything i see on tv. it is the biggest lizard living these days though.
wilbertian1 Says:
