we are hoping they will eventually, but at the moment no. There have never been Komodo dragons in NZ, but there are some in Australia (adults as well as recently imported young ones).
If Komodos were brought to Wellington, I wonder where they would house them? The elephant house once held fruit bats, and I think that the nearby aussie aviary did too... how 'bout those? I think they could be slightly refurbished for the job.

I did say "refurbish"... I mean, the aviary could be given solid walls and a glass ceiling, and it could work. Otherwise, where do you speculate they'd place the enclosure?
