Are we looking at the last of the dinosaurs?

Matthew Allard reports in AlJazeera about the Komodo Dragon being on the endangered species list.  There are only around 4,000 dragons left.

These giant lizards - the largest on earth - grow to around 10 feet long and 150 pounds!


Allard describes how a Komodo Dragon attacks its prey and upon what it preys.  He says, "Coming into contact with a Komodo for the first time, you feel like you have stepped onto the set of Jurassic Park."

The Phoenix (nee Maytag) Zoo has two Komodo Dragons on display.  I think they're pretty awesome!
