Huge, yellow, flesh-eating dragons are said to dwell in the dense primeval rain forests of the Indonesian island of Flores, presumably related to the Komodo Dragons of the neighboring islands. Although the big monitor lizards of Komodo have been thoroughly studied since their discovery 100 years ago, almost nothing is known about their yellow relatives. Are they a new species? And how could such a large beast remain hidden from scientists for so long? The island of Flores is inhabited, and co-existence of humans and carnivores usually leads to conflict - but not in this case, apparently. Two German reptile experts set out in search of the mysterious yellow dragons, with no idea what to expect.
