This past week, the Denver Zoo has become the only zoo in the world to hatch endangered komodo dragons for the third time!
Way to go!
The zoo said Thursday that in its latest feat, four dragons have hatched and four are still in the incubator. Denver Zoo Curator of Reptiles and Fishes Rick Haeffner says the zoo is only the second one in North America to hatch the dragons this year.
They are one of the worlds largest reptiles, able to grow up to 10 feet long and weigh over 250 pounds!
Holy shiz! We don’t want anything to do with them!
They also have 60, serrated teeth, that can be up to one inch long! Youch!
This news is huge for the komodo dragon though, as there are only 3000-5000 left in the wild.
We may not find them cute, but we’re always for saving a species!
