There's no live cams we could find specifically featuring the Komodo Dragons. So, instead, enjoy this bonus video about Komodo National Park, in Indonesia - named one of the "new seven wonders of nature."

Arabian Oryx
This animal, once extinct in the wild, was saved thanks to the conservation efforts of numerous zoos (this is why zoos are important!). The Arabian Oryx is highly regarded in many Arabic countries, and is the national animal for a few of them, such as Jordan. Learn more about these animals - very much alive today - below!
