With the exception of the American Alligator exhibit inside the Herpetarium (tiny and full of coins) I was impressed with how Brownsville exhibits these very misunderstood creatures, although I'm only able to look at it as a zoo enthusiast of course, not a zoo professional or a biologist.
Baldur, friend ... I really was not knocking GPZ. Far from it (I assume you understood that). It seems the photo in question does not fully convey the entirity of the Cuban crocodile exhibit (looks like several).
Of course, the GPZ is somewhere at the top of herpfiles anywhere in terms of both husbandry, management and sheer top results ...

I assure you this photo was taken after a heavy rain storm we had here in Brownsville. Since the croc enclosures have a land area that is made up of dirt, it runs down into the pools when it rains. I know this first hand, because I clean them each week
