Learn about Precious Reptile Species at an Exciting New Exhibit

Meet an awe-inspiring collection of reptile wonders! The brand-new Reptile Territory exhibit has officially arrived at The Summit, bringing together extraordinary reptiles from around the globe. Alongside the familiar panther chameleon, you’ll also find rarer species such as the Chinese crocodile lizard, a "living fossil" under Category 1 of the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Law, and the rhinoceros iguana, listed as "Endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. All these precious animal stars can't wait to meet you!


Even if you think you already know everything about these quirky creatures, think again! We're here to bust the most common myths and misunderstandings about reptiles so you can see these fascinating, personality-packed animals in a whole new light. Dive deep into their secret world through interactive experiences like our Animal Fun Talk: Reptile Stars & Rainforest Friends, Rep Rep Press Conference, and an advanced AI Biodiversity Image Recognition App. Get ready to explore, learn and discover an intriguing side of the reptile realm you never knew existed!

League of the Reptile Stars

Visit the star-studded lineup of incredible reptiles! There’s "The Gentle T-Rex", the rhinoceros iguana, named for the horn-like bump on its snout. While this massive creature may look fierce and intimidating on the outside, it’s actually a total softie at heart. You will also be able to see "Master Freeze", the Chinese crocodile lizard, listed as a Category 1 species under the Chinese Wildlife Conservation Law. This living fossil often remains completely motionless on tree branches. Its extraordinary superpower is staying perfectly still. The amazing "All-Seeing Eye-con", the panther chameleon, can not only switch its skin colours effortlessly, but also rotate its eyes independently. It’s an absolute master of 360-degree panoramic vision! With its bright-coloured tongue, "The Innocent Blue" blue-tongued skink looks like it could be venomous, yet it’s completely non-toxic. When facing predators, it sticks out its vibrant blue tongue to bluff its way out—making it the ultimate goofy-looking defence strategy of the lizard realm! Meanwhile, "The Aqua Ninja", the sailfin lizard, has a striking, large sail-like fin on its tail. It commands attention with its imposing presence, and it happens to be an agile master swimmer too!

Apart from these already incredible creatures, the exhibit is also home to the giant horned lizard, red-eyed crocodile skink, European legless lizard, and many other precious reptiles from across the globe. Come discover their fascinating world together!

Scared of Reptiles? Think Again.

Do reptiles give you the chills? That fear might just be based on a few big misunderstandings. While reptiles are indeed cold-blooded, they are far from heartless. Some are even pest-busters that feed on mosquitoes and cockroaches! Follow the Expedition Trail at Rainforest straight to our brand-new exhibit and unmask the secrets of these fascinating animals! Debunk the myths to discover the surprisingly adorable and larger-than-life personalities of reptiles!
