With its breathtaking landscapes, from towering mountain ranges to expansive prairies, lush forests, and crystalline lakes, Canada offers a tapestry of scenery that is as varied as it is stunning.

In contrast, the eastern provinces boast a rich tapestry of history and culture. The charming cobblestone streets of Quebec City echo with the footsteps of centuries past, while Montreal buzzes with a dynamic blend of old-world charm and modern innovation. Further east, the Maritime provinces beckon with their rugged coastlines, picturesque fishing villages, and warm hospitality.

Urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver pulse with multicultural energy, their skylines punctuated by towering skyscrapers and cultural landmarks. Yet, amid the hustle and bustle, Canada remains a haven of natural beauty, with expansive national parks and protected wilderness areas offering sanctuary to a diverse array of wildlife.

Canada's people reflect its vastness and diversity, with a tapestry of cultures and traditions woven together in harmony. From the indigenous peoples who have called this land home for millennia to newcomers from around the globe, Canada embraces a spirit of inclusivity and acceptance.

In every season, Canada reveals a different facet of its natural and cultural heritage. Whether blanketed in snow and ice during the serene winter months or bursting with vibrant foliage in the crisp autumn air, Canada captivates with its ever-changing beauty.

Above all, Canada is a country of warmth and resilience, where the spirit of adventure thrives and the call of the wild beckons. It is a land where nature and culture converge, offering endless opportunities for exploration, discovery, and connection with the land and its people.

He believed what the two men said but there was only one way to find out; He had to go to Komodo Island himself and brought back one of the dragons for people to see.

So Douglas Burden and some friends sailed halfway around the world to the tiny island off the coast of Indonesia. When they reached the island they were afraid that the traps and cages they had with them would not be strong enough toehold the dragons. There were dragon son the island. They weren't the same dragon’s people see in picture books and in children's stories, but they looked more like dragons than any other animal Burden had ever seen. They were really large lizard - some of them three metres long and as heavy as two men. Their legs were short and thick and on their feet were sharp claws like knives. Although they did not breathe fire like the dragons in story books, the lizards had yellow forked tongues, that moved quickly in and out of their mouths.

It was difficult and dangerous to catch the lizards. Sometimes the lizards attacked the men. Sometimes the men had to kill the lizards to save themselves.

Finally, Burden and his friends caught two live Komodos and put them in cages on their ship. Then they sailed back to America.

When the two dragons were put into the Brooklyn Zoo in New York City, people came from all over America to see them. Burden, was pleased that so many people had a chance to see two live dragons.

That was more than 45 year ago. today there are no more live dragons anywhere in the world except on the tiny island of Komodo. They still live there.
