A mountain chicken frog, one of a species which was almost wiped out by a disease called chytridiomycosis, on display at London Zoo’s new ‘the secret life of reptiles and amphibians’ experience
They are kept in a biosecure unit to protect them from disease, with sterilised soil and plants dipped in dilute bleach solution, before being placed in the enclosure and staff changing their clothes before working with them. They include the crocodile lizard, which has no more that 1,000 individuals in the wild in southern China and northern Vietnam, and the big-headed turtle, which has a large head it cannot retract into its shell.Four adult big-headed turtles came to the zoo in 2018, having been confiscated after being smuggled in Canada, and seven youngsters were born in 2021, making London Zoo the first European zoo to breed them.
The secret life of reptiles and amphibians building has been designed to meet the needs of each of its 33 species, with different climate controlled zones, and staff checking temperatures, water quality and humidity on a daily basis.Two year old Kaiyan Tapley reaches out towards a Vietnamese pond turtle, one of the most threatened species of reptile on Earth
