Do they have petting zoos there?

A petting zoo features wild species that can be touched so they can feed on your fingers.

I recommend derfie go to the Komodo dragon petting zoo.

The Komodo dragon is the largest living lizard species.

The lizard grows to 3 meters (10 feet) in total length and attains a weight of about 135 kg (about 300 pounds).

Adult Komodo dragons eat smaller members of their own species and sometimes even other adults.

They can run fast enough to attack and kill human beings.

They commonly wait along game trails to ambush pigs, deer, and cattle.

They seldom need to capture live prey directly, since their venomous bite delivers toxins that inhibit blood clotting.

The physical trauma of the bite and the introduction of bacteria from the Komodo dragon’s mouth to the wound plays a role in slowing and killing prey.

Komodo dragons often find their prey in the process of dying or shortly after death.
