Farewell Big Daddy Bahasa

We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Big Daddy Bahasa, 7-year-old male komodo dragon, who passed away due to complications in his digestive system that significantly decreased his quality of life.  We commend his staff for the excellent care he received after the first ever komodo back surgery and subsequent physical therapy program.  He was an incredible ambassador for this Vulnerable species, and everyone in our SF Zoo family will truly miss him.
