Help Us Name Our Blue-Tongued Dragons
Our newest animal ambassadors need names! The eastern and northern blue-tongue skinks are native to Australia, and though they be but little, they’re skinking adorable! Head to our website to choose your favorite names. Staff and volunteers chose names based on the skinks’ historical or cultural significance, natural history, scientific name, or behaviors. These little dragons will help educate our guests about skinks and other reptiles.
