Following the 2007 conquest of [[Ixa'Taka]], the treasures of Mezro were plundered by the army, including around three hundred crocodiles, monitor lizards, turtles and other reptilians kept by King Cacama. These reptiles were transported back to Corumm where Chen ordered the construction of the Reptile Quadrant and artificial lakes to house them. After the death of Chen in 2012 the facility was renamed to the Mirzak Institute for Biological Preservation and an animal research and conservation center was opened, while retaining the zoo portion and opening it to the public. | Following the 2007 conquest of [[Ixa'Taka]], the treasures of Mezro were plundered by the army, including around three hundred crocodiles, monitor lizards, turtles and other reptilians kept by King Cacama.
