It is well known that fire-breathing dragons do not exist on Earth today. But there are some islands in Indonesia where we can find the kingdom of some special dragons: the Komodo Dragons.

A king of this territory is in Bioparc Fuengirola, Reo, and as a good monarch, he must always look for descendants, his heirs to the throne.

His love stories with this king have been few, but intense. The first began many years ago with Sayang, a beautiful female from London. The end of this relationship was sad and, as in any good kingdom worth its salt, there is always a tragic death and events that endanger the succession. Sayang left us a great void that was difficult to fill.

After several years of loneliness, Ora arrived to accompany Reo. A young female from Jersey and with a particularly great character.

Arranged marriages don't always go well and the first presentations are usually complicated and if you add to that that they can only see each other once a year... As if it were a forbidden love story, everything gets more difficult!

But our king is a true gallant and despite Ora's strong character, he finally fell at her feet.

After a long wait, our kings have had five heirs to the throne. One of them, the first-born Juanito, despite being much smaller than normal, jealously kept with him the secret of the unborn twin Boquerón, who took those grams of weight away from him. He will always be in our memory.

The 5 future heirs, Juanito, Fénix, Embum, Drakaris and Saya, have turned out to be 5 males that now play and jump oblivious to what one day will be their duty, to repopulate their islands with large and beautiful dragons like their parents.

There will be no fight for the throne, everyone will have their kingdom!
