• Resumen

  • Ainsworth talks about dragon training, which became widespread more recently. Zoos have every reason to want their Komodo dragons well trained. They are the world's largest living lizards, growing up to 3 meters long and weighing in at up to 90 kilograms. They can out-sprint a human and bring down prey much larger than themselves, including pigs, deer and even water buffalo. The dragon's fearsome reputation has only been enhanced by the debate over its infamous bite.
