This review is from: Safari LTD Incredible Creatures Komodo Dragon (Toy)
Dragonus a Dragonus, as my four-year-old son has named him, has a mischievous little glint in his eye that says, "I've killed a small deer and hidden it somewhere, but I'm not telling you," which is good, because despite my love for Varanidae (and large reptiles in general), I'd be reluctant to approach a feeding Komodo Dragon.
`Ol Dragonus is a sturdy beast, well proportioned and accurately detailed in a medium that is really not so far off from the texture of real lizard skin. I was concerned that there were some hand-painted features, such as the eyes and tongue, but whatever they've used is quite durable, certainly soap- and waterproof, as I learned after his first mud bath. If you're looking to teach your little one the correct "one above, one below" two-handed grip for handling lizards, you may actually find his torso a little fat for small hands, but he's gratifyingly stout and healthy looking, with the nice fat stomach and legs a well-fed lizard attains.
Based on my experience, activities you may find yourself enjoying with your younglings may include, but are not limited to: Clambering through the trees as a juvenile lizard; chasing down and devouring poisonous snakes up to and including cobras; and biting large ruminants, waiting for the bacterial stew in your saliva to kill them, then eating the carcass. Money well spent.
