EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a rare sight at the London Zoo in August 1928 - a majestic Komodo Dragon. The image, taken by Frederick William Bond, showcases the impressive reptile in all its glory. Komodo Dragons were a novelty at the time, as London Zoo had imported two of these magnificent creatures just months prior to this photo being taken. Astonishingly, they went on to live for an impressive 12 and 14 years respectively. The photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this fascinating creature. With its scaly skin and piercing eyes, the Komodo Dragon exudes power and mystery. Its long tail coils gracefully behind it while its muscular body rests confidently on the ground. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of nature's wonders that can be found within our own city limits. The London Zoo has always been dedicated to showcasing diverse wildlife from around the world, providing visitors with unforgettable encounters like this one. Bond's skillful photography immortalizes not only the beauty of this particular Komodo Dragon but also serves as a testament to our fascination with reptiles and their place in natural history. This timeless snapshot is a true treasure from days gone by – an extraordinary glimpse into both past zoological practices and our enduring curiosity about Earth's incredible creatures.
