About this event

Are reptiles really the solitary hunters we have traditionally seen them as, or do they have a rich social life that we are only recently shining a light on? This talk explores some of the more interesting social behaviours found in lizards, snakes, crocodiles and tortoises, showing how the latest research techniques are giving us new insights into reptile life. This research has profound implications for how we perceive, keep and protect reptiles.
