🌟 Exciting baby news!🌟 A clutch of Victorian grassland earless dragons has hatched at Melbourne Zoo – and they’re a world-first! This species was thought to be extinct in the wild, before it was rediscovered in Victoria earlier this year. Thanks to a conservation breeding program, established with adults collected from the rediscovery site, the first generation of hatchlings has just arrived. These tiny dragons are part of a vital insurance population, crucial for safeguarding against the species' extinction in the wild. The Victorian Grassland Earless Dragon Recovery team is leading conservation efforts for this species, and is a collaboration between @ZoosVictoria, @DEECA_Vic, @NESPLandscapes, @museumsvictoria, @DCCEEW and Wildlife Profiles Pty Ltd.
