Komodo dragon

Mempish zoo welcome baby komodo dragon. Published october of 2011
I chose this article because it intrigued me. I like that they explained how the mother gave birth and how they made sure that she was taken care of. I also really liked that they explained how they took care of the baby. I wasn't happy that they where going to give away the baby but I can understand why they are. I learned that not every baby or egg is guarrentees to service because the mother had 8 eggs but only one was fertile and even that egg almost didn't make it. I also learned that female lizards can fertialize their own eggs which I thought was pretty amazing. Its called pathogenesis when a female fertalizes her own eggs. Komodo dragons are indigenous to the komodo island hence the name komodo dragon. I still wanna know what the komodo dragons eat and if they are difficult to care for at full size. I would not like to purchase one due to their size but beside that it would be cool to have. There's always a contrevesy around animals being kpt in captivity but a lot of people think that where the lizards are kept is to small for them to be. Komodo dragons are endagerd in the wild but hopefully they won't be for much longer. Many people are trying to stop them from going extinct. This animal in considered to be an expert level animal to keep because of how much care it needs and because it is also kinda a dangerous animal to keep due to its saliva which can make human beings sick
