I was really impressed to see other monitor lizards in Borneo. I didn't realise how big they are! According to Wikipedia: Komodo dragons were first recorded by Western scientists in 1910.[10] The reference links to: http://www.mampam.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=48&Itemid=97 which gives some details: "...the Komodo dragon escaped the attention of modern science until 1910. Lieutenant Van Steyn van Hensbroek of the Dutch Infantry, who was based in Flores, mentioned to Ouwens that a particularly large monitor lizard was said to inhabit the neighbouring island of Komodo. When the Lieutenant visited the islands he heard reports that the animals grew to 6 or 7 metres long, but the largest he was able to catch was only 2.2 metres long. A collector was despatched to Komodo who returned to Java with two adults (290cm and 235cm) and two juveniles (100cm) which were formally described in 1912."
