Little Rock Zoo announces birth of lizards to be released around Arkansas

Little Rock, Arkansas – Arkansas is about to get a larger lizard population.

On Tuesday, the Little Rock Zoo announced the birth of 20 eastern collared lizards.

As part of a conservation project, a cooperative, which consists of the zoo, Arkansas Game and Fish, University of Central Arkansas, and the University of Arkansas, are hoping to repopulate the young lizards in the Ozark Mountains.

With help from the partnership, the lizards will be released into glade habitats around the state to keep the species alive and thriving in the years ahead.
