Two adorable baby lizards have recently hatched at the Los Angeles Zoo, marking a significant milestone as the first of their species to be successfully bred at the facility. These baby lizards belong to the Perentie species, scientifically known as Varanus giganteus, which are native to Australia and are among the largest lizards globally, second only to the Komodo dragon and a select few others.
The zoo curator, expressing his delight, mentioned that breeding this species has been a highly rewarding experience for the team. While the Perentie lizard is not classified as endangered, it is a rare sight in zoo environments outside of Australia.
