  • Sir David Attenborough today joined staff at ZSL London Zoo to mark the official renaming of a Komodo dragon enclosure in his honour.
    ZSL London Zoo’s Komodo dragon enclosure was renamed ‘The Attenborough Komodo Dragon House’ at an official ceremony in celebration of Sir David Attenborough’s 90th birthday.
    Sir David met members of ZSL staff as he toured some of the zoo's latest enclosures, coming face to face with orb-weaver spiders and Asian lions. Watch the video to hear from the man himself about his links with ZSL London Zoo and Komodo dragons, and how he feels the organisation has changed over the years.

      His brother became even older and later he opened a theme park with the words: "Welcome to Jurassic Park!"

    My personal favorite of all the monitor lizards! To say that Sir David Attenborough has been an advocate for conservation would be an understatement, to say he's made a difference would be an understatement, and to say his work has made helped save and bring about attention to the plight of countless species including the fierce but remarkably beautiful Komodo Dragon would be a tremendous understatement, he is a legend in every sense of the word!

      Good credited zoos do more for conservation than any of us will do in 10 lifetimes, zoos serve as embassadors for the animals, a visit to a zoo, seeying the animals right there in front of you surpasses any emotion you can get from a documentary, of wichbkids just dont have the patience to sit through.
      I worked i zoos that treat their animals better than most hospitals treat their patients, I've seen freacking elephants recieve acupuncture right in front of me.
      Plus most zoologists even famous ones like Sir David Attenburough and Jane Goodall are pro zoos. Even national Geographic supports good zoos by having several programs and documentary about said zoos
