Five Komodo Dragon hatchlings were born at a zoo, Spain. This is the first successful breeding of this endangered species in Spain in a decade."This is a huge achievement for all of us," Milagros Roberto, head of the Herpetology section at the Bioparc Fuengirola zoo south of Spain, and self-described "mother of the dragons", said on Tuesday.A 13-year-old girl named Ora was their birth mother and laid 12 eggs in August. Five of the dozen eggs were chosen and artificially incubated for seven months.Robledo stated that hatchlings were a "hopeful future", adding that it was a difficult task.Although the hatchlings are smaller than a lemon and much shorter than a shoebox they will eventually grow to be nearly three metres in length (10 feet). They could also reach 70 kilos (150 lbs) in weight, with sharp teeth and a venomous bite.These apex predators, which are native to four islands in Indonesia, were added to the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) "Red List" in 202...Three-bedroom home sells in San Jose for $2.5 million

Britain is already pushing for carve-outs, while the EU has primed its own set of green subsidies in response.But Hunt — whose administration is today unveiling a raft of energy security and climate change policies — insisted the world was “now playing catch-up” with the U.K.’s own green energy investment.Hunt told MPs Wednesday that the U.K. will unveil a full respons...How TikTok built a ‘team of Avengers’ to fight for its life
