Travellers, rejoice! We no longer have to visit the Indonesian islands to see the Last Dragons on Earth: The Komodo Dragons. The Ambanis have recently announced that India will soon have the world's biggest zoo in the state of Gujarat.

Do dragons exist?

Did we think Dragons do not exist anymore? Well, that is a misconception. Dragons do exist. No, they do not breathe fire or fly through the air. But appearance-wise, they are 10 feet in length, weigh more than 300 pounds, and believed to be the closest thing we have got to the mythical beasts that haunt our dreams. Just that to see them in their native habitat, one has to travel to one of four Indonesian islands. But not anymore!
