A kitten was rescued Saturday from the Komodo dragon habitat at the Fort Worth Zoo.

The black and orange cat was spotted by a zookeeper and taken to the Humane Society of North Texas, the shelter said in a Facebook post.

There are feral cat populations in Forest Park, next to the zoo, and cats found wandering in the zoo are often taken to the humane society, zoo spokeswoman Alexis Wilson said.

She was unaware of how the kitten ended up in the large lizard's den. Komodo dragons can smell a dead animal more than five miles away by "sniffing" air currents with their forked tongues, according to the zoo.

3. It's a little girl

She's a tortoiseshell, and nearly all tortoiseshell cats are female. They're also known for their fiercely uncompromising attitudes, known as "tortietude". Looks like this little girl has got a full measure of tortitude!
