Tonight's science rumble is set in the empty savanna exhibit after closing time. No snacks were harmed.
Komodo Dragon
Varanus komodoensis
Komodo dragons can smell a meal from several kilometers away.
Deer, pigs, water buffalo, even other dragons. Growing teens will try anything.

It is the world's longest venomous snake, often over 4 meters.
