NEW YORK, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- The American Museum of Natural History in New York says its popular live exhibit "Lizards & Snakes" is scheduled to return in March.
Featuring more than 60 live lizards and snakes from five continents, the exhibit is to open March 6 and run through Sept. 6. It previously appeared at the museum in 2006 and 2008.
"Grounded in the evolutionary history of the group, 'Lizards & Snakes' showcases live animals and some of their remarkable adaptations, including projectile tongues, deadly venom, amazing camouflage, and sometimes surprising modes of locomotion," the museum said in a news release. "Representing more than 20 species occurring in countries such as Australia, Cuba, Egypt, Guatemala, Kenya, Madagascar, Mexico, Sudan and the United States, the animals include the veiled chameleon and the Madagascan giant day gecko and are shown in re-created habitats complete with ponds, tree limbs, rock ledges and live plants."
