Chinese Crocodile Lizard Babies
On January 6, a Chinese crocodile lizard (shinasaurus crocodilurus) gave birth to three babies. The babies are currently behind the scenes, but you can see the adults at our Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium.
This births were the result of a breeding recommendation by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Chinese Crocodile Lizard Species Survival Plan (SSP), a cooperative program which manages this species in AZA zoos.
The AZA studbook and SSP is managed by one of our Herpetarium keepers!
