We all know the main facts about Komodo Dragons. But this month, as Komodo National Park has just reopened, Here are 2 little-known facts about those endemic creatures
1. KOMODO DRAGONS ARE ALSO KNOWN AS ORAS.
Western scientists didn’t find out about the giant reptiles until 1912, but long before they finally showed up on academias radar, Komodo Island natives had given them the name ora, which means land crocodile.
2. GEORGE H.W. BUSH RECEIVED A KOMODO DRAGON AS A GIFT.
Halfway through his only term, Bush 41 was given an ora male, courtesy of Indonesias government, named Naga. While the idea of letting a giant lizard prowl around the Oval Office sounds pretty awesome, the president instead chose to hand him over to the Cincinnati Zoo. After fathering 32 youngsters, the illustrious critter passed away in 2007 at the respectable age of 24.
