Best Komodo Dragon Exhibit

[SharkFinatic]

Don't think anybody's discussed this before, so I wanted to ask you guys, of all the Komodo dragon exhibits you've seen, which one do you think is the best? (I haven't seen enough to make a proper judgement, but since I am a Komodo dragon lover, I thought this would be fun to talk about.)

I would say Bronx with regards to detail, horticulture, and preservation of classic Beaux-Arts architecture. With regards to total naturalism, DAK.

DAK being Disney's Animal Kingdom, right?

DAK being Disney's Animal Kingdom, right?

Yup. The acronym isn't as intuitive as I thought, I guess. Ehh-?

Just wanted to be sure, because Disney's Animal Kingdom wasn't exactly what I was expecting as an answer.

Nah, it's this guy:

Who I suppose is a Disney character retrospectively

I swear, I'm not that daft. As I explained above, I had to do a double take since Animal Kingdom wasn't what I was expecting someone to answer with.

The first time I saw dragons outside (I think) was at Jakarta Zoo. It was a simple, fairly shabby enclosure but it left quite a huge impression on me.

I can't say this is a subject I've ever given any thought to before, but I do agree that the Animal Kingdom exhibit is rather good.

Can agree, I’ve been there in October 2016, and was blown away, the spaces the dragons had and the number of basking options and I felt as if I was actually in a different country.

I'll be the forth person to say DAK's enclosure, from what I can remember was really impressive.

Shedd aquarium's enclosure, it was just temporary but had really interesting enrichment.
(a trash can puzzle feeder?)

Call me biased, but I'll go for Terra de Dragons, in the Barcelona Zoo! The two dragon enclosures are some of the largest I've seen, and I really like the openable glass roof to allow the ambient temperature in during the summer. The enclosures also include underwafer vision and a view into the burrows.

I've never had a komodo dragon exhibit, in case anyone was confused
