The Vivarium de Lausanne has received a female Komodo dragon from Prague zoo, the only dragon in Switzerland.
The dragon arrived in style, flown over on the private jet of the owner of Sion FC.
The vivarium is announcing the first official hatching of West African crocodiles (Crocodylus suchus) in Europe, 6 have been hatched.
A couple of Mississippi paddlefish have recently arrived.
Apparently the Vivarium has already been closed for about half a year on its current site. About 2/3s of the animals will be moved to a newly built facility in Lausanne, which is set to open at Easter 2017 and will also be an aquarium.
