Singapore Zoo welcomes first addition to Komodo dragon family in 34 years
Bima, a male komodo dragon and a long-time resident of the Singapore Zoo, has been courting a female komodo dragon named Yoko for one and a half years.
According to the Singapore Zoo, the diminutive female had not been receptive till late 2008.
Bima and Yoko now have a two-week-old baby, who has yet to be named. The baby is the newest addition to the Komodo dragon family at the zoo - the first in 34 years.
The Singapore Zoo is the first zoo in Asia to have bred the reptile out of its native home in Indonesia.
