Behind-the-scenes of Perentie Cam 🦎📷

Meet Reptile Keeper Courtney and one of the amazing animals she has the pleasure of looking after, "Hendrix" the perentie. 🦎
Perenties are a type of goanna (an Australian term for a monitor lizard) and can grow up to 2.5 metres in length (8 ft 2 in), making them the largest lizard in Australia, and the fourth largest lizard in the world. 📏
Hendrix is a very intelligent boy who loves to interact with his keepers. He partakes in regular enrichment training sessions to keep him mentally and physically fit, as well as to help out with husbandry practices such as weighing him on a scale and conducting health checks. 🩹🩺
He can frequently be seen sun baking on warm days🌞, or cruising around his exhibit and using his forked tongue to explore different smells. 👃
🦎📷You can catch a "sneak peek" into Hendrix's day-to-day activities thanks to our "Goanna Cam: Perentie" webcam, which live streams all of the action 24/7. Check it out here: • Goanna Cam: Perentie 🦎
