They can’t breathe fire or fly, but a group of dragons are going to make a new home at the Calgary Zoo.
Loka, the oldest Komodo dragon in captivity at 28-years old, has already arrived from the Toronto Zoo.
Komodos are carnivores native to islands in Indonesia and have long forked tongues, big claws and mouths full of sharp teeth.
Mature males can grow up to 3.5 metres long.
In the wild they eat goats, wild boar, smaller dragons, horses, water buffalo and deer.
Experts estimate there are only about 3,000 to 5,000 Komodos left in the world.
