Dwarf Crocodile sp.

St. Augustine- Arrau Turtle. August 22, 2014.

Well, I couldn't find the Arrau Turtle on the picture but for the ID of the crocodile I would say it's a Westafrican Dwarf Crocodile (O. tetraspis). (90% sure)

Well that's weird! I know I originally mislabeled this as an Arrau Turtle I'm 99% sure I fixed it! Anyway, this is indeed a dwarf crocodile, though it's not O. tetraspis. I don't think the zoo knows yet what it is but it's possibly one of the new species or a hybrid.

Update: I believe this animal is not suspected to be a T. osborni.

I just realized the typo in my above comment, it's supposed to read "this animal is now suspected to be a T. osborni"
