Komodo dragons (Varanus komodoensis) are the world's largest living species of lizard. Fully grown, adult males can reach nine feet from nose to tail, and tip the scales at 360 pounds. Estimates indicate there are fewer than 2,500 Komodo dragons remaining in the wild, with possibly as few as 350 breeding females.
"Amazing Monitors" at WCS Bronx Zoo's iconic Zoo Center building features Komodo dragons as well as three other monitor species, each found in different ecosystems.

How old are these guys?
About 245 million years younger than you.
Mr. Gorgonops they look to be very young probably still not adults because they are maybe only about half the size of the full grown adults
That's Biawak, not Komodo lol.
I'm not a zoo person . I believe they should only be used for rehabilitation of injured animals after being rescued and then released back into the wild. But that would lead to people injuring them to have in the zoo for human profit at animals expense.

Actually what education do caged lifeforms give you.
Maybe society should be studied only in the prison system or homeless people.
krrrruptidsoless Old but zoos do in fact provide education. They not only help scientists learn more about animals they might not be able to study in the wild, but they also teach the zoos visitors about these animals, and maybe inspire some visitors to help the animals. A well designed zoo with large and stimulating enclosures like the Bronx zoo is good for the animals, but also helps us learn more about them to help their wild counterparts. I wouldn’t ever support a zoo that was for-profit, but many zoos, like the Bronx zoo, are not for profit and any profit therefore goes back into helping animals.
