Thousands of years ago, the Sumba region turned out to be home to various animals which have now become extinct. These animals are miniature elephants, rats and giant lizards, as well as Komodo dragon species.

This was also disclosed in a journal report entitled ‘Proceedings of the Royal Society B’. Which, the report refers to the discovery of these animal fossils.

Then, the discovery of a Komodo dragon fossil that now only lives on Komodo Island, Flores.

Because of the large number of these discoveries, it then provoked the assumption that animals that are now considered rare actually came from Sumba.

In the report, it is said that various extinct species lived on Sumba about 12,000 years ago. The research team came from the Zoological Society of London (ZSL), and conducted research from 2011 to 2014.
