Dragon Lizards of Komodo: An Expedition to the Lost World of the Dutch East Indies is a book written by W. Douglas Burden. It is a fascinating account of Burden's expedition to the remote island of Komodo in the Dutch East Indies, where he discovered and studied the rare and fearsome Komodo dragon. The book takes readers on a journey through the rugged and untamed terrain of Komodo, where Burden and his team encountered a variety of exotic creatures, including giant monitor lizards, pythons, and wild boars. The author provides vivid descriptions of the island's landscape, flora, and fauna, as well as the customs and traditions of the local people.Dragon Lizards of Komodo also delves into the science behind the Komodo dragon, including its physical characteristics, behavior, and evolutionary history. Burden's research and observations shed new light on this mysterious and fascinating creature, and his writing is both informative and engaging.The book is a classic of natural history writing, and it remains a must-read for anyone interested in the natural world, reptiles, or adventure travel. With its rich descriptions, compelling narrative, and stunning photographs, Dragon Lizards of Komodo is a true gem of a book that will captivate readers of all ages.1927. If any man with sporting tastes and a real interest in natural history were told that true dragons were still living on a remote, little known island of the East Indies, what would he do? Mr. Burden answers that he would try to make sure that the reports were founded on fact, and then, having satisfied himself, he would begin, a little secretly, perhaps, to lay his plans. This book entails such a journey in search of these true dragons and the expedition launched to find the dragons of Komodo.
