Hi, Frank Indiviglio here. Iā€™m a herpetologist, zoologist, and book author, recently retired from a career spent at several zoos, aquariums, and museums, including over20 years with the Bronx Zoo[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
Sailfin Dragons (4 species in the genus Hydrosaurus) are among the most spectacular of all the worldā€™s lizards. Even after a lifetime of working with reptiles in zoos and the field, the sight of one stops me cold ā€“ and I know of no herp enthusiast who reacts otherwise. While certainly not suitable for beginners, the experienced keeper with ample space will be hard pressed to find a more exciting prospect. And with a new species recently described, and wild populations of others in jeopardy, serious attention to captive breeding is urgently needed.
