London Zoo's Komodo dragon enclosure was opened by Sir David Attenborough in July 2004.
The zoo used to own two Komodo dragons, a female named Rinka and a male named Raja.
A new male dragon called Ganas (one of the parthenogenic hatchlings from Chester Zoo) moved to London in 2015 after the previous dragons died.
Their enclosure is designed to resemble the dragon's natural habitat of a dry river bed, and sounds of Indonesian birds are regularly played into the enclosure.
