No, this Island of Dragons is quite real… I am of course referring to the Island of Komodo, part of Komodo National Park in Indonesia.
And while the dragons that live there are closer to crocodiles than fire breathing monstrosities, they are an endangered species that live in a very small, very specific, and very beautiful part of the world:

From the video’s description:
