There is a male and female green anaconda in this exhibit, as well as a diving lizard. I have yet to see the creature, and the sign did not specify any other name apart from "diving lizard". Most peculiar to be in with the anacondas!

Is the "diving lizard" a Northern Caiman Lizard? That would be behaviorally accurate, zoogeographically appropriate and cool!

The third photo from the left (at the top of the signage bar) shows a photo and a brief description of the "diving lizard". If anyone can zoom in accurately enough then we can maybe discover more about the species.
