Three young Komodo dragons have gone missing from a zoo in Surabaya, a spokesman said on Tuesday, warning that the lost lizards were dangerous and fast on their feet. The missing reptiles, which measured 50 centimetres to a metre long, were each around one year old and disappeared from their cage early this month, Surabaya Zoo spokesman Agus Supangkat said. “We’re worried if the Komodo dragons escaped. They’re dangerous. Young Komodos like the ones missing love to climb trees and can move very fast.”

That's why have we held it,” the ministry's director-general for protocol and consular affairs, Lutfi Rauf, was quoted by tribunnews.com as saying Tuesday evening.
