Reptile experts risked their lives to pair two Komodos at the Australian Reptile Park on the NSW Central Coast. Here s why the feat is so remarkable - and equally dangerous.
Estrella the 21-year-old tortoise touched down in Sydney late on Wednesday night to start her new life at the Australian Reptile Park on the Central Coast.
Galapagos tortoise Hugo will finally meet his long-distance girlfriend as wildlife teams fly his mate over from the other side of the world.
In the next few weeks Estrella the 21-year-old tortoise will be flown from Germany to her new home at the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby on the New South Wales Central Coast.
After undergoing three months of quarantine, Estrella will then be able to meet Hugo, 70, for the first time with reptile keepers hopeful the pair will eventually mate.
The couple were supposed to be united in 2019 but due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic their plans for romance were put on pause.
