Celebrating #WorldLizardDay, Komodo style 🦎 Did you know? The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard in the world! They once lived across a huge range, spanning Indonesia’s islands and Australia, but since the 1970s, Komodo National Park has been the only place in the world where they can be found. Often weighing more than 300 pounds, these giant lizards can grow up to 10 feet long, run as fast as 12 miles (19 km) per hour, smell blood from almost 6 miles away, and deliver a powerful bite with strong venom. Males tend to grow larger and bulkier than females. Be sure to stop by the Australasia Pavilion and visit with ambassadors, Komo and Raya, during your next Zoo visit 🦎 #FunFactFriday
