Komo esta?What goes around, comes around - even for komodo dragons Komodo dragon: see lizard; monitor.. Komo, the young komodo dragon who made headlines after taking a bite out of the foot of the San Francisco Chronicle's Phil Bronstein during an L.A. Zoo visit arranged by his wife, actress Sharon Stone, has suffered an appendage epiploic appendages see under appendix . ap·pend·age ( -p n d injury of his own. The 3-year-old lizard was recovering last week from a fracture that zoo officials believe he sustained while climbing an artificial rock. The injury kept him out of view when the zoo opened its "Dragons of Komodo" exhibit earlier this month. The good news is Komo is doing well and was expected to return to public view in three to six weeks, said Michael Dee, the zoo's general curator. He said Komo would not be wearing a cast. "You're talking about a 7-foot animal that is relatively nice but after catching him two or three times (to change the cast), it would not be very nice," Dee said. "We want everybody to go home in one piece." |
