Wildlife Exhibition Seeks To Change People's Mindset
By Liza Mohd

Kuala Belait - One of the highlights of the Agri-food festival in Belait is the wildlife exhibition organised by LTS Mini Zoo. Over 15 different species of snakes, tortoises, lizards and crocodile are on display.

During yesterday's launching ceremony, visitors seized the opportunity to have photos taken with an eight-foot Burmese python and an 18-foot python.

According to General Manager Awg Md Mharvin bin Md Louis, this was the first time the mini zoo was participating in an exhibition. He explained that the main objective was to change people's mindset about reptiles. "Not all reptiles are dangerous," he said.

Md Mharvin said that all snakes displayed in the exhibition area are non-venomous. Most of the reptiles and amphibians are from the zoo, while the rest are his friend's pets. He hoped that the exhibition will encourage more people to keep exotic pets. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
