MEMPHIS, TN (AP) -
The Memphis Zoo has gotten some recent additions with the hatchings of several Komodo dragons.
The baby reptiles aren't exactly cute and cuddly
though. Chris Baker, who is assistant curator of reptiles at the zoo,
told The Commercial Appeal
that they will bite as soon as they hatch. Baker said in the wild, they
would have to protect themselves from being eaten by their mother.
It is the third time in just more than a year that
the zoo has bred the endangered species. It joins fewer than 20 other
zoos across the nation that have successfully bred Komodo dragons.
Baker says other zoos have spoken for the
creatures, and it is unclear whether they will be exhibited before
moving in a couple of months.
