Opening a New Breeding Center
We opened a new breeding center in Armenia.
This unique center is the first of its kind and cares for endangered amphibians and reptiles, with a focus on vipers.
Right now, it houses mountain vipers from three endangered species.
Welcoming New Babies at the Zoo
We have several Armenian snakes at the zoo.
This species gives live birth, and we are raising young born at the Zoo.
By breeding these animals, we learn about their biology.
How You Can Help
If you see a snake, leave it alone.
Snakes help control rodent populations and prevent the spread of disease.
Erected by Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute.
