Indonesia’s enduring heat provides energy for it’s reptilian residents to thrive, and so much so, they outnumber it’s mammalian inhabitants. From the heady heights of the forest canopy to the warm waters of the coral filled seas, they have evolved unique and awe inspiring bodyforms for travelling through their environment as well as eye catching and tender ways of securing a mate. Some use brute force and large teeth to take down prey whilst others administer a deadly dose of venom into their victim. Across the thousands of islands of Indonesia, we discover how this mosaic of habitats has become a dragons’ domain.
