Zooish 3 Nov 2009 Houses 2 separate pairs of Estuarine Crocodiles, Giant River Terrapins and Giant Snakehead.
Zooish 4 Nov 2009 Not really. The largest croc in the exhibit is about 4 metres long. A few years back there was one salty which measured 5 metres but it died.

dragon(ele)nerd 4 Nov 2009 thanks, that's a shame 5 meters is quite large. Do you know how old it was?
Zooish 7 Nov 2009 Afraid not. But i think he had been with the zoo since it opened in 1973. The largest crocodilian at the zoo now is a False Gharial which is just under 5-metres long.

J J James27 7 Nov 2009 Ah that false gharial is a beast, so impressive especially when he was moving.
