	Gili Motang - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gili Motang is a small island in the Malay Archipelago.
		Home to a small population of about 100 Komodo Dragons, Gili Motang is part of Komodo National Park.
		In 1991 as part of the national park, Gili Motang was accepted as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

		Komodo Dragons (varanus komodoensis) are found on the Indonesian islands of Komodo, Rinca, Gili Motang, and the west side of Flores.
		The last piece of meat would be attached to a wire and this wire would in turn be attached to the door which would slide shut as the Komodo Dragon tugged on the bait.
		Gili Motang has smaller dragons than the other islands because of the shortage of prey.

	CRES Projects: Reproductive Ecology of Komodo Dragons
		In particular, these differences are greatest between the populations inhabiting the two large islands of Komodo and Rinca and the two small islands of Gili Motang and Gili Dasami.
		For example, the population densities of dragons are three to five times greater on the big islands compared to the small islands and growth rates are considerably faster on the big islands.
		There is evidence that a reduction in prey has led to both a decrease in population size, and, in particular, a loss of larger adults, presumably males, on the small island of Gili Motang.

	Komodo di Pulau Kecil Lebih Terancam - Sabtu, 09 Juli 2005
		Selain di dua pulau besar, yakni Komodo dan Rinca, sebagian populasi komodo terdapat di pulau-pulau kecil seperti Gili Motang dan Nusa Kode.
		Gili Motang dan Nusa Kode tidak terlalu luas, kurang dari 11 kilometer persegi, sedangkan Pulau Komodo dan Rinca luasnya lebih dari 230 kilometer persegi.
		Untuk konservasi komodo di pulau kecil, seperti Gili Motang, dapat saja dicari sumber air sebagai pendukung atau populasi rusa ditambah.

		Although they live on the island that bears their name they also inhabit a few other islands that are relatively close by--Rinca, Padar, Flores, Gili Motang.
		The terrain on Gili Motang is rocky and mountainous so the going was never easy.
		The dragons on Gili Motang tend to be smaller than on Komodo.

	Komodo dragon
		Komodo dragons take around five years to grow to 2 metres in length and can live for up to 30 years.
		There are around 6000 living komodo dragons, restricted to a few small islands in Indonesia, including the islands of Komodo[?] (1700), Rinca[?] (1300), Gili Motang[?] (100) and Flores (maybe 2000).
		The Komodo monitor was first reported by a European in 1910.

		Various researchers subscribe to alternative routes that the dragons’ ancestors may have taken to their present locale of Komodo, Flores, Rinca, Gili Motang and Gili Dasami.
		According to world-wide sea-level changes over the past 80,000 years and bathymetric data of the study area, Flores and Rinca were joined ;until 10,000 years ago.
		Gili Motang was connected several times to their combined landmass.

		According to worldwide sea-level changes over the past 80,000 years and bathymetric data of the study area, Flores and Rinca were joined until 10,000 years ago.
		Komodo was long isolated but appears to have joined its eastern neighbors about 20,000 years ago, during the last glacial maximum.
		Recent estimates suggest that fewer than 3,500 dragons live within the boundaries of Komodo Island National Park, which consists of the islands of Komodo (1,700 individuals), Rinca (1,300), Gili Motang (100) and Padar (none since the late 1970s), and some 30 other islets.

		They are approximately four feet in length and are 1½ years of age.
		Komodo dragons can be found in the seasonally arid grasslands and monsoon forests on the islands of Flores, Rinca, Motang, Gili and Komodo.
		This island dweller is an endangered species due to habitat destruction and has the smallest territorial range of any large predator in the world, which makes the species extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and human interference.

		Distribution: The Komodo dragon is found on only a few small islands in the Lesser Sunda archipelago of Indonesia; the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Flores and Gili Motang.

		Distribution and Habitat: The distribution of V. komodoensis is restricted to a few Indonesian islands of the Lesser Sunda chain including Komodo, Rinca, and the western half of Flores.
		Reports of animals on smaller nearby islets, including Padar and Gili Motang, are probably based on records of transient animals.
		The depopulation and repopulation of Padar and Gili Motang is proof that these lizards can swim and survive for relatively long periods in seawater.

		The Ulysses S. Seal Conservation Grant Program awarded the Conservation Biology and Population Management of the Komodo Monitor $2500 in 2003 for its field work exploring the biology of Komodo monitors, training in country personnel and working to establish new protected areas for this species in Indonesia.
		In 2004, the fund awarded this project up to $2000 to cover the cost of annual maintenance for an anti-poaching patrol boat purchased by the project that is used to patrol the island of Gili Motang and its population of about 100 Komodo monitors.
		Staff champions for this project are Beth Jo Schoeberl (Previously Tropics Supervisor, no longer at the Minnesota Zoo), and Laurie Trechsel, Tropics Zoologist.
