BREAKING NEWS by CNN:
An Indonesian fisherman has been killed by Komodo dragons March 24 2009 (just a week after our visit). He was attacked while trespassing in search of fruit, officials said. Muhamad Anwar, 32, bled to death on his way to hospital after being mauled by the reptiles at Loh Sriaya, in eastern Indonesia's Komodo National Park, the park's general manager Fransiskus Harum told CNN. "The fisherman was inside the park when he went looking for sugar-apples. Other fisherman took Anwar to a clinic on nearby Flores Island, east of Bali, but he was declared dead on arrival, he added. Komodo dragons, the world's heaviest lizards, can grow up to 3 meters (10 feet) in length and have a toxic bite that they use to kill prey such as buffalo, returning to feast when the animal succumbs to the poison.

Despite their ungainly appearance, the carnivorous reptiles can run as fast as a dog in short bursts, jump up on their hind legs, and kill animals with a blow of their powerful tails.

Attacks on humans are rare, but this incident is the latest in a series in which the monster lizards -- which have forked tongues and fearsome claws --have killed or injured people.

Last month a park ranger survived after a Komodo dragon climbed the ladder into his hut and savaged his hand and foot. In 2007 an eight-year-old boy died after being mauled.

Conservationists have run into criticism by some local villagers who accuse environmentalists of protecting Komodo dragons at the expense of human safety!

In 2006 we were looking in Borneo for the last remaining and very rare and shy Proboscis Monkeys. We did found some in Sabah and Sarawak Malaysia. These people call him the Orang Belanda (The Dutchman) because of his huge nose and pot belly are as big as from the first Dutch sailors around in the 16th century. With a rate of 300 football fields per hour, their habitat is being cleared for palm oil plantations. Just edited some raw footage specially for Vimeo to start with a longer docu. Read all about it and our blog with route info at: ProboscisMonkey.org. We specially did not put music under their unique honking sounds.

Can you imagine people today eat this meat? All global videographers please get as many footage you can get of endangered species.


The Silvered Leaf Monkey is, also called the Silvered Langur, Baby monkeys have an orange-gold fur. They are still hunted as a source of meat and medicine.

Silver Leaf Monkeys or Silvered Langurs (presbytis cristata) are found throughout southeast Asia and often inhabit mangrove swamps.

Spend five minutes of your time looking at another nearly destroyed peace of nature, next species Homo Sapiens?

These are two male Dusky Leaf Monkeys, found primarily on the Malay Peninsula, including southern Burma and parts of Thailand. They also inhabit the islands of Langkawi, Penang, and Perhentian Besar. (According to Lekagul and McNeely in 1977 and Medway, 1969. We doubt strongly if they are still there.....)
