The Wallace Line is a 35-kilometer oceanic boundary between Bali and Lombok that separates Asian wildlife (found on Bali) from Australasian wildlife (found on Lombok), despite the islands being geographically close; this biological divide exists because the deep Lombok Strait (over 1,300 meters) has prevented land animals from migrating between the islands for millions of years, even during ice ages when sea levels dropped.

You can swim it, [music] and on the other side, you're on a different continent.
Bali's wildlife is Asian. [music] Lombok is Australasian. You can find cockatoos [music] and flying foxes, birds and animals you see in Darwin, >> [music] >> not Java. It's called the Wallace Line, and it runs between these two islands.
Everyone calls Lombok the next Bali.
It's not. It's never was. [music] It has been its own world for millions of years, which is why I [music] keep saying
