@Nadchew_ are there really 3 alligators in this exhibit? Mandai only has 3 Chinese Alligators in its collection, with 1 at River Wonders and 1 at Reptopia.
 
@Zooish according to a staff who was at river wonders, the one yangze alligator at river wonders have now moved to the zoo and currently only the two chinese turtle species are to remain at that exhibit for the time being seems like. The photo didnt really show it but theres two alligators in the water and one deeper into the exhibit on land. So my best assumption is that all the alligators in the collection has moved here
 
@Nadchew_Thanks for the update, that's an interesting development. Perhaps they want to encourage breeding.
 
@Nadchew_ Yes, a friend of mine who works in the reptiles division, did mention that plans to transfer the Chinese alligators to the former lion tamarin & Geoclemys enclosure have been around for some time.

Hence, the past videos of crate training being conducted with the RepTopia gator.

The Batagur borneoensis that were formerly exhibited at the old elephant bath, have been occupying the RepTopia gator pond since last Monday.
 
@noobmaster69 its at an area that is often overlooked at the park. From theindochinese box turtle side of tortoise shell-ter, take a right turn and the exhibit is there. The left turn is where the estuarine croc is
