Komodo Dragons
Far off in the country of Indonesia, only 3,000-6,000 Komodo Dragons survive. They live high up in the trees when they are young and eat insects or other small lizards. If one comes down, a full grown Komodo Dragon snaps it up. They are its own kind, but are a tasty snack. Not many young Komodo Dragons survive and humans are killing adult Komodo Dragons for their skin. Now, it is illegal to kill a Komodo Dragon. You can also help, adopt a Komodo Dragon on Smithsonian national zoological park! http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Support/AdoptSpecies/AnimalInfo/KDragon/default.cfm

Oh wow! The Adopt a species gift package is almost the same as the WWF adopt an animal package! My mom adopted a tiger for one of my Christmas presents!
