About Reptiles
This fascinating exhibit introduces visitors to the four major groups of reptiles in an exciting and compelling format. There is no substitute for living animals, and this exhibit features many of the world’s most recognized reptiles: vipers, cobras, pythons, alligators, monitors, snapping turtles, and more. Reptiles: The Beautiful and the Deadly answers the questions, “What is …a reptile? …a turtle? …a crocodilian? …a lizard? …a snake?” Bold interpretive graphics and engaging interactives focus on anatomy, behavior, ecology and conservation. The exhibit explores common myths and fosters a basic understanding of how reptiles fit into the history of life and the fabric of their native environments.
