Have not seen this one here yet; Schonbruun Zoo, Scott 580 Issued May 24, 1952



I have tentatively identified the reptiles as;

Bottom left - Varanus komodoensis - Komodo Dragon (really unsure on this)
Bottom right - Naja naja - Common Cobra

Any other thoughts on ID'ing these creatures? I could not find what creatures the zoo had in 1952!

Matt - Animal Gu, great stamp! I keep it in my monkey stamp collection. 50 years later, in 2002, a new set was issued to celebrate 250th anniversary Schonbruun Zoo. It was posted in the animal thread. I think it has reptiles too.

Greek Tortoise (Testudo graeca)

Moorish Wall Gecko (Tarentola mauritanica)
