From godfather to patron
Ziegler’s crocodile newt was named after Professor Thomas Ziegler, curator of the aquarium at Cologne Zoo, where this endangered species was successfully bred. Thus, the godfather of the name became its patron saint, so to say. And since Thomas Ziegler is also involved in the advisory board of Citizen Conservation, it is of course a matter of honor that we want to contribute to the establishment of a conservation breeding for this rare and endangered crocodile newt.
