Mugger crocodile

Crocodylus palustris
These animals are only held indoors,but 1 group of American Alligators do have an outdoor enclosure for when its warm enough outside!

I wish a few more zoos would offer crocodilians this option, Paignton or Wingham would possibly be better though, further south so the climate would be better and both have hardy species of crocs within their collections.

Having been to Wingham the sooner they give up Crocodilians the better for their life expectancy!

It’s several years since I was last at Thrigby Hall. Are the ex-London Zoo American alligators still there? If so, they must be very old but then crocodilians are long-lived...

Very nice photograph by the way.
