Tropics Trail: Land of the Dragons – This area is fairly new (2009), cost $1 million, and features a pair of nicely planted Komodo dragon exhibits that are both quite impressive. It was great to see these lizards, which are now very commonly found in American zoos, in outdoor enclosures. Also, there is a viewing area into a small indoor exhibit and one of the yards is open-topped and that allows visitors to get a clear look at the world’s largest species of lizard.
