New research by a team of palaeontologists and archaeologists from Australia, Malaysia and Indonesia, who studied fossil evidence from Australia, Timor, Flores, Java and India, shows that Komodo Dragons most likely evolved in Australia and dispersed westward to Indonesia.

Who shoots wildlife in daylight at F/2.8? That’s just wrong. Once picture for dramatic effect I could understand, but to go all that way to take so many bad pictures is just sad.
Then again, no offense if you are the photog, and perhaps we ought to have a little talk on how to use that SLR.
