"There are indeed many workers who live wild in Ancol, especially around Ecopark, including Dufan," Eko said when confirmed, Thursday, May 4.

Although he admitted that in Dufan Lake there may be biawak animals, Eko said that until now there have been no reports regarding the appearance of these animals.

"So indeed in the lake there is a part that is used to rent a ball attraction (Water Ball). So far there have been no reports (of the appearance of a lizard) to us," he continued.

Eko Nugroho explained, if Ancol is not only a tourist area, it is also a place to live for various wild animals. In addition to lizards, there are also frogmen, capungs, and dozens of bird species.
