Animals

Komodo Dragon exhibit

Our newest exhibit is based around animals that can be found within the range of a Saltwater Crocodile, Crocodylus porosus. The exhibit is the largest expansion in the zoo’s 115 year history and displays an impressive list of birds and reptiles, including the imposing Southern Cassowary, the world’s most dangerous bird. While not a reptile, the cassowary looks as much like a dinosaur as anything on the planet. The reptile list for this new expansion includes a 12’ King Cobra, a 21’ Reticulated Python (personally measured by National Geographic's Dr. Brady Barr), Lace Monitors, Crocodile Monitors, Green Tree Pythons, Shingleback Skinks, Centralian Carpet Pythons, Black-headed Pythons, Russell's Vipers, and, of course, a beautiful Komodo Dragon! In addition to the cassowary, the birds include Palawan Peacock Pheasants, Palm Cockatoos, Pesquet's Parrots, and more.
