Feeding Time for AMNH's Lizards & Snakes: Alive!

The real monsters, dragons, and basilisks are back! More than 60 live lizards and snakes from five continents are now displayed in exquisitely prepared habitats. In addition to the live animals, the exhibit uses interactive stations, significant fossils, and an award-winning video to acquaint visitors with the world of the Squamata, the group that includes lizards and snakes.

In Lizards & Snakes: Alive! visitors will see representatives of 26 species, including crowd favorites such as the Gila Monster, Eastern Water Dragon, Green Basilisk, Veiled Chameleon, Blue-tongued Skink, Rhinoceros Iguana, Eastern Green Mamba, and a fourteen-foot Burmese Python. The Water Monitor habitat is equipped with a web camera, enabling virtual visitors from around the globe to observe the daily behavior of one of the largest living species of lizard on earth.

The exhibit is now open and runs through September 6 at the American Museum of Natural History.

@omegavalerius : Definitively the best comment I have ever read in all Youtube! Though I rather say it's more Machiavellian than Marxist!!

[omegavalerius]

Forget Marx. This is the real class struggle: Mammalia vs Reptilia. Unfair advantage was gained by Reptilia due to a traitor on the Mammalia side who neutralized the mammalian competitors.
