Happy ! What a great opportunity to highlight another conservation project we are proud to be a part of, that of the endangered Massasauga Rattlesnake. Along with other partners in the AZA SAFE program, we care for an assurance population of this threatened species, which includes breeding and reintroduction into the wild.

Wait a second though - didn't we say it's world LIZARD day? Absolutely! In fact all snakes are lizards!

📣 We are excited to share an update from the field! This is what our hard work is all about, getting to give back to projects and people that are out there saving species and habitats!

“I am writing to check in following my return from the Siamese crocodile conservation trip in Cambodia and Laos, where we also worked with Cambodian Royal Terrapin (Batagur) and Asian Giant Softshell turtles. During the trip, we successfully released 20 Batagur in Cambodia and 10 Siamese crocodiles in Laos.
In Cambodia, four members of the Mandai Wildlife Group team from Singapore joined us for the first week. They assisted in obtaining morphometrics for all hatchlings and two-year-old Asian Giant Softshell turtles, as well as the 20 Batagur prior to their release. We also collected weights and measurements from 29 adult breeding Batagur to assess post-nesting body condition. This is a labor-intensive task that Chris performs annually to evaluate the health of the breeding colony. Having the extra support transformed this from an all-day project into a morning exercise.

👏 Thank you all for your support, it helps us to make this happen!"
