They both eat fish?
Slightly stronger than the connection between crocodiles and eagle owls

Well they need something other than Crocodiles to keep the general public's interest,so I for one am in favour of this new addition to the collection!
As small cat species go, it is also one of the nicest ones knocking around 
and there is the potential for informational signage to discuss the fact that the species is found in the same areas and habitats as taxa such as Ganges Gharial, Mugger Crocodile, Saltwater Crocodile and Sunda Gharial!

Nothing against Fishing Cats, but Fish Owls would be nice.

I would prefer Crocodylus Acutus to be held as it is a rather under represented species that is held in Europe.
Could be the start of a S.E Asian precinct.
No bad thing!
Amazing news from CotW- UK first breeding of Tomistoma!

This is brilliant news for the species.Monumental success for the zoo.
I usually go for 'Malayan Gharial' or 'Sunda Gharial' nowadays. It's entirely illogical, but false gharial just feels...wrong now that they've been moved into the Gavialidae.Whatever has happened there, they will always be false gharial to me
