Komodo dragons have moved in!

This Wednesday, Harry and Vanheden moved into Skansen-Akvariet AB from Rotterdam Zoo. Two beautiful Komodo dragons are now at home on Djurgården.

Harry and Vanheden weighed 7 kg when they arrived. An adult male weighs 70 kg. It´s the world’s largest lizard and they’re also venomous
Really big males can weigh over 150kg!

Komodo dragons have an incredible sense of smell and can smell dead meat from many kilometers away.

The fact that Harry and Vanheden have now moved here is the result of Skansen-Akvariet being involved in EAZA’s conservation project regarding these fascinating animals.

We say welcome to Royal Djurgården.
