Rare Emerald Monitor Lizards Hatch at Bioparc Fuengirola

Bioparc Fuengirola Celebrates Hatching of Rare Emerald Monitor Lizards Málaga, Spain – Bioparc Fuengirola is celebrating a significant conservation victory with the recent hatching of two baby emerald monitor lizards. The successful hatching, which occurred during the first week of May 2025, marks a milestone in the park's ongoing efforts to protect this unique and beautiful reptile species. "This is a significant success," said a spokesperson for Bioparc Fuengirola. "The emerald monitor lizard is a remarkable creature, and we are proud to contribute to its conservation." The incubation process lasted approximately five months and was meticulously monitored by the park's Herpetology team. Daily checks were conducted to ensure the health of the eggs, both externally and internally. This careful attention to detail was crucial to the successful hatching of the two healthy baby lizards. The park's 2015 success in hatching this species for the first time in Spain demonstrates their expertise and commitment. The emerald monitor lizards are arboreal, meaning they spend most of their lives in trees. This fact is reflected in their habitat at Bioparc Fuengirola, which is designed to mimic their natural environment. The park's commitment to conservation extends beyond this successful hatching. They continue to work to protect other endangered species and educate the public about the importance of biodiversity.
