Sadly so ...! How old is this individual and how long has it been in the Seoul Zoo collection?

I'm not sure, but I think this gharial has been living here more than 20 years. Thanksfully, Woochi zoo, another zoo in Gwang-ju, Korea, got 4 new, young false gharials this year, because one university in Korea bought them for the zoo as a gift. So, now there are 5 false gharials in Korea so it is possible to breed this species in Korea and this gharial could able to not to be remained as the last in Korea anymore.
