Living With Dragons on Komodo Island

Ahh, the island life. Picturesque beaches, turquoise seas and beautiful sunsets as far as the eye can see. But this particular Indonesian island has one inhabitant that might scare away sunbathing tourists. I'm talking about the island of Komodo, which is home to the world's largest lizard, the Komodo dragon. While these venomous man-eating lizards may be the stuff of nightmares to some, they are actually a tourist attraction. And what's more, the people of the island have to live with these monstrous creatures. So how dangerous are Komodo dragons? What do they eat? And can they coexist with humans?

Almost like living with dinosaurs, or more accurately in terms of size, Dimetrodon

Are there any ancient art of them? Like runes and writings, it would be cool to discover them on the island. Just like tomb raider.
