UK Dragons - Scientists buoyed by virgin birth of Komodo dragons

Basically once the female has laid the eggs she has nothing more to do with it. So Flora behind me is completely oblivious to the fact that she is the centre of this attention, and completely oblivious to the fact that she is also now a mother and a father, if you want to look at it that way. But the babies, yes they are fine." 8. Different baby dragon being carried back to its cage 9. Mid of baby dragon playing inside cage STORYLINE: Scientists displayed five wriggling black and yellow Komodo dragons on Wednesday at an English zoo that were the product of a virgin birth, predicting the hatchlings offered hope for breeding the endangered species. Flora, the Komodo dragon, produced five hatchlings although a male had never been near her, proud staff at Chester Zoo, in Chester said. The shells began cracking last week, after an eight-month gestation period, which culminated with the arrival on Tuesday of the fifth dragon. Two more eggs remain to be hatched. About 70 reptile species including snakes and lizards can reproduce asexually in a process known as parthenogenesis. But while it had been known to happen in smaller reptiles, Flora's virginal conception, and that of another Komodo dragon at London Zoo, were the first documented in the giant species. The dragons are between 40 and 45 centimetres (16 inches to nearly 18 inches) long and weigh between 100 and 125 grams (3.5 and 4.4 ounces), according to Kevin Buley, a curator of reptiles at Chester Zoo. The hatchlings were in good health and enjoying a diet of crickets and locusts. When fully grown to 10 feet (3 metres) long and weighing about 300 pounds (140 kilogrammes), they will be capable of eating a whole pig or deer at one sitting, hooves and all. "They seem to be doing fantastically," said Buley. "Flora behind me is completely oblivious to the fact that she is the centre of this attention, and completely oblivious to the fact that she is also now a mother and a father, if you want to look at it that way" he added. Komodos are native to the arid volcanic Lesser Sunda Islands in Indonesia, and are named for the island where they were discovered in 1910. The giant lizards are considered endangered, with fewer than 4,000 surviving in the wild and facing encroachment from humans. Keyword-wacky animals

Entertainment Daily: Stars zoo horror - Sharon Stone watches as husband is savaged by giant lizard
TAPE: EF01/0462 IN_TIME: 13:25:47 DURATION: 1:44 SOURCES: APTN/ABC RESTRICTIONS: DATELINE: Los Angeles, 9th June SHOTLIST: APTN File (1999) 1. MS Sharon Stone and Phil Bronstein ABC 2. GVs Komodo Dragon at Los Angeles Zoo 3. SOT Lora Lamarca (L.A. Zoo Spokeswoman): "Sharon Stone and her husband, Phil Bronstein were at the Zoo yesterday- on Saturday- on a behind the scenes tour and, at his request, he really, really wanted to be up close to a komodo dragon. And with our keeper with him, we let him into the Komodo dragon exhibit. And this particular komodo dragon is actually very tractable and very friendly and very nice and we would never have allowed anything to happen if we expected anything else. The komodo dragon did bite his foot and he was able to be taken out of the exhibit very quickly and medical help arrived." 4. CU dragon APTN File (1999) 5. File of Phil Bronstein and Sharon Stone SHARON STONE'S HUSBAND FIGHTS OFF REPTILE ATTACK Giant man-eating lizards have appeared in countless Hollywood movies but there was no one to shout 'cut' when one sunk its teeth into Phil Bronstein. As his wife, actress Sharon Stone, looked on in horror, the Komodo Dragon sunk its powerful jaws deep into the flesh of Bronstein's foot. The newspaper executive was rushed to hospital and underwent foot surgery after being attacked by the huge reptile during a visit to the Los Angeles Zoo. He remained hospitalized on Monday, two days after the attack. Bronstein was on a private tour of the zoo when he entered the Indonesian lizard's cage. The zookeeper had asked him to remove his white tennis shoes to keep the 5-foot-long reptile from mistaking them for the white rats it is fed, Bronstein told the San Francisco Chronicle. The reptile attacked Bronstein's shoeless foot, crushing his big toe while thrashing its body around, said Bronstein's wife, actress Sharon Stone, who witnessed the attack from outside the cage. Bronstein was able to pry open the reptile's mouth and escape through a small feeding door in the cage while the zookeeper distracted the dragon, Stone said. Bronstein underwent surgery Saturday to reattach severed tendons and to rebuild his big toe that was crushed by the dragon's jaws, Stone told the Chronicle. Bronstein was in stable condition Sunday at a Los Angeles area hospital where he is expected to remain until Monday, said Chronicle spokesman Joe Brown. "He sounded in good spirits," Brown said Sunday. "He did say he's fated not to have a boring life." The tour was arranged as a Father's Day surprise for Bronstein, who had always wanted to see a Komodo dragon up close. Stone said that they certainly didn't blame the people at the zoo for the incident. The endangered dragons are not venomous, but are considered poisonous because several strains of septic bacteria are found in their teeth and saliva, said Los Angeles Zoo spokeswoman Lora LaMarca. Bronstein was given antibiotics and will be monitored for infections. The dragon was not injured in the incident. The aggressive, meat eating lizard, which is known to kill members of its own species, is native only to Komodo Island and a few neighboring islands in Indonesia. It can grow up to 12 feet and weigh 300 pounds.
