The Komodo dragon truly lives up to its name, being the largest species of lizard  ever known and capable of growing up to 3m in length and weighing up to 70 kg. This sheer size, when combined with the dragon's predatory nature, demands that caution be exercised when in its immediate vicinity.

Morover, the dragon is also famous for its ferocious bite, which combines serrated teeth with mysteriously toxic saliva. Scientists still debate whether this saliva contains venom or bacteria but either way, the dragon's fearsome reputation is well known.

This killing machine is only found in few islands in the Komodo National Park, a conservation area listed in two international groups: UNESCO World Heritage and the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

Named after one of her father's favorite crocodiles, Bindi Sue Irwin first appeared in front of the cameras when she was only a few weeks old. Her father, Steve Irwin, was the star of the popular nature program, The Crocodile Hunter,

Irwin shared her parent's passion for wildlife. Home schooled, she grew up surrounded by the animals at the Australian Zoo which is owned and operated by her family.

She experienced a terrible loss in 2006 when her father died after being stung by a stingray while snorkeling on Australia's Great Barrier reef. At Steve Irwin's memorial service, held at the Australian Zoo, she spoke warmly of her father, calling him "her hero".

In memory of her father, Irwin starred in the 2007 television documentary My Daddy the Crocodile Hunter. She continued to work on her new wildlife series for American television, Bindi; The Jungle Girl, which debuted that same year, with the young wildlife enthusiast educating and entertaining viewers with stories about animals. She rode an elephant, played with a phyton and introduced her audience to her pet rat, Candy. Irwin even sang and danced on the show with her back-up group, known as the Crocmen. Along with her mother, Irwin also appeared in the documentary series, Planet's Best with Terri and Bindi, around time.

Though the show only lasted for 26 episodes, Bindi: The Jungle Girl found a second life on Australian television. The series aired there in 2009. Back in the states, Irwin has made appearances on such talk shows as The Oprah Winfrey Show in recent years.
