Nashville Zoo Now Has Komodo Dragons
We are thrilled to announce that the new Komodo dragon habitat is officially open to the public. This remarkable exhibit claims the title of the largest Komodo dragon habitat in the Americas!
The habitat is located on the path to the Zoo’s HCA Veterinary Healthcare Center and features inside and outside viewing areas.
Komodo dragons are dominant predators in the wild and eat just about anything from deer, mice, goats and have even been known to take down horses or water buffalo.
We participate in the Komodo Dragon Species Survival Plan® to help ensure genetically diverse dragon populations in human care. We also partner with Komodo Survival Program, an organization dedicated to Komodo dragon educational initiatives and hands-on conservation work with wild populations.
