Administratively, Java is composed of three provinsi (provinces)Jawa Barat (West Java), Jawa Tengah (Central Java), and Jawa Timur (East Java)as well as Jakarta Raya (Greater Jakarta) daerah khusus lbukota (special capital district) and Yogyakarta daerah istimewa (special district), both of which are administratively considered provinces. Java is 661 miles (1,064 km) long from east to west and ranges in width from about 60 miles (100 km) at its centre to more than 100 miles (160 km) near each end. A longitudinal mountain chain, surmounted by many volcanoes, runs east to west along the island's spine and is flanked by limestone ridges and lowlands. Most rivers in Java run northward, since the central mountains that form their watershed lie somewhat closer to the southern than to the northern coast. The island is also home to monkeys, wild pigs, and crocodiles; about 400 species of birds; 100 species of snakes; 500 species of butterflies; and many types of insects.
