In a scaly-cool move for the 2024 Lunar New Year, Komodo dragons—Earth’s largest lizards—have made their grand debut at Guangzhou’s Chimelong Safari Park! The park, now China’s biggest breeding hub for these prehistoric-looking giants, has welcomed 25 Komodo dragons, some stretching over 2 meters long—talk about #DragonEnergy!
Native to Indonesia’s Komodo Island, these magnificent reptiles are getting a star treatment with a brand-new exhibition hall set to open before February’s Lunar New Year festivities. The project highlights wildlife conservation efforts and offers visitors a rare chance to witness these creatures up close.
For travelers and biology enthusiasts alike, this is your sign to book a trip to the Chinese mainland’s south. Who needs mythical dragons when real-life ones are breathing fire (well, metaphorically) into Guangzhou’s zoo scene?
