Shockingly small, but there appears to be construction to what could be a new exhibit for this guy, which they need since I don't think it will physically fit in this container for much longer. (It barely can now)
@drill The main reason I believe it's a moreletes crocodile is because others have posted pictures of a juvenile, much smaller at the time, in the same part of the zoo. It also resembles on to me but this zoo was very very bad about labeling things.
@d1am0ndback have had similar experiences at similar zoos is the possibility of a siamese crocodile put of question i went to a private reptile zoo in Illinois that had siamese and gave them to a zoo in Texas.
@drill This has potential to be siamese, as the animal world and snake farm zoo an hour away keeps Siamese crocodiles and trades animals with them. I think it is much more likely that the snake farm received that Siamese, and that the capital of texas zoo is keeping the jouvenile moreletes they have had (moreletes according to what people on zoochat have said)
@d1am0ndback's identification of Morelet's is correct. Zooinstitutes is unreliable and outdated at best, as is the zoo's website. The zoo does keep Madagascar crocodile, but in a different area.
Siamese crocodiles are kept in several zoos in Texas. It's a big state.
