Watch the INCREDIBLE moment some of the world's rarest crocodiles hatch - and listen to their little chirps! 💚 🐊 Two years ago, our team were asked to help with international efforts to save the critically endangered Siamese crocodile from extinction.
Guided by our knowledge and expertise, developed through working closely with crocodile species here at the zoo, we’ve been able to further boost the success rate in breeding centres in Cambodia by more than 500%🥚💥
More crocs are now being released into Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains by our conservation friends @FaunaFloraInt, with the goal of adding another 150 to the wild population by 2025! 🌍
We’re proud to be a part of this awesome collaboration to save this amazing species from extinction. What better way to celebrate Reptile Awareness Day 🙌

10 years before his death, @ucl's spiritual founder Jeremy Bentham commissioned 26 mourning rings for his closest friends.
Many of the rings were lost but in recent years, @UCLSpecColl recovered several of the rings through generous friends of UCL. bit.ly/3Y1blms

Big news! The King Cobra taxonomy has been revised: buff.ly/3A7DO26. We will of course be chatting about the changes in an upcoming Species of the Bi-week segment. To whet your appetite, here is a new King Cobra species map. Massive congrats to the authors.

Just one example of at least 8 houses I personally know that have concreted over their gardens in the past 5 years. None of which are SUD compliant. Most planning authorities don't want to know. Then we wonder why our drains can't cope during storms. 🤷♂️

A new article I co-authored is out! Along with Marcel van Tuinen and @fieldpalaeo, we succinctly summarize current knowledge on the origins and diversification of birds. This will be an entry in the 2nd ed. of Encyclopedia of Evolutionary Biology (2025). sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
