Modo and Modi - 2011 Sea Games in Indonesia


Modo and Modi was the official mascots of the 2011 Sea Games in Indonesia. Modo and Modi are a pair of Komodo Dragons. Modo is a male Komodo dragon wearing a blue traditional Indonesian costume and a batik sarong, while Modi is a female Komodo dragon wearing a red kebaya with a batik sash and pants. 
The mascots were adopted from Komodo Dragons, an endemic Indonesian fauna native to Komodo, Rinca, and Padar islands in East Nusa Tenggara. "Modo" is a short name for Komodo, while "Modo-Modi" is a modified spelling of Muda-Mudi which means "youth" in Indonesian language, derived from pemuda (male youth) and pemudi (female youth).
