New at the zoo

About 7 months ago, a man was detained in Cornellà de Llobregat (town adjacent to Barcelona), found in possession of various illegally obtained firearms and 40 illegally obtained reptiles, most of them venomous snakes, among them a Komodo dragon which was found in a very bad state. Three varanids, including the V. Komodoensis, the others being this V. Varius and a V. albigularis, and three helodermas of two different species, have been taken in by the barcelona zoo, but on account of their policy against venomous snakes, such animals have been taken in by other institutions, like the CRARC and La Escola de la Natura.
Here is a newspaper article concerning the case (in Spanish):
