Did you know that Komodo dragons use their tongue to smell? Every time a dragon flicks their long, forked tongue out of its mouth, scent particles land on it. When the tongue is brought back into the mouth, it rubs against a special organ called a Jacobson's organ. The Jacobson's organ helps differentiate what the lizard is smelling, and the forked split in the tongue communicates what direction the scent is coming from. This is a process called a Flehmen response, and many animals, including cats, horses, and snakes, use this to enhance their sense of smell.

Coron Palawan is one of the most stunning places we ever had the pleasure to experience. Jagged limestone formations which meet the most amazing crystal clear water is pretty hard to beat. World class WWII wrecks to explore and shallow water coral reefs for endless snorkelling. We won’t forget this place in a hurry!
