Although it may be hard to tell from this headshot, this is a pair of Komodo Dragons (an endangered species) chilling in the Lied Jungle, the world's largest indoor rainforest and a "total immersion experience" at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo. As wikipedia notes, Omaha's Zoo is "nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research" And from the zoo's website:

The major purpose of the Lied Jungle is not only recreation, but education and conservation awareness. Rainforests play a vital role in the quality of life on earth. They are disappearing at the alarming rate of 50-100 acres a minute. That's an area the size of Massachusetts each year.
