Breeding

The offspring of our Zoos are not a one-off accident nor are they random, they are instead the result of a continuous breeding effort over the years.

To name a few, we count the African dwarf crocodile Osteolaemus tetraspis; several kinds of giant snakes such as pythons, boas, Madagascar boas; poisonous snakes such as cobras, mambas, rattlesnakes; various species of lizards, local snakes and various species of turtles as examples of successful in-house breeding.
