Due to this fact, I am very happy when Kompas reported that three Komodo females have give birth to 25 baby Komodos at a zoo in Surabaya, East Java.

He said Thursday that the babies, weighing between 2.8 ounces (80 grams) and 4.2 ounces (120 grams), brought to 69 the number of the giant lizards at the zoo, one of the largest in Southeast Asia. Eleven more eggs are expected to hatch in coming weeks.
Komodo dragons can be found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca. The lizards — thought to number around 2,500 — can grow longer than 10 feet (3 meters) and weigh 150 pounds (70 kilograms).

Komodo is a very rare animal in the world that is almost extinct. Let us support the Indonesian Government's efforts to preserve and protect the Komodo dragon. Komodo is a protected animal that is priceless.

ow that's beautiful
congratulation for Surabaya Zoo
you have new collection
@Peter,
I am glad to hear that. Some of the komodos have been moved to Bali for better treatment.
@HorseTaste,
Beautiful indeed
@TokoOnline,
We should congratulate Surabaya Zoo for their achievement.
I have always been fascinated with the Komodo because like many lizards it has a greater story to tell, and its beauty attracts all who appreciate it's presence.
I hadn't known that the Komodo Lizard was born in this part of the world before, and that is a step in the right direction for the Indonesian Government to be specialising in the conversation of Komodos.
I hope they live for many centuries to come.
Kind Regards
A pleasure to stop by your blog :)
Ana Goncalves,
Thank you for your visit and comment.
The komodo lives in the Island of Komodo at the eastern part of Indonesia. Some has been sent to other parts of the country and also other countries. Thank God their numbers seemed to be growing.
