False Gharials (Tomistoma schlegelii)

Photographed at the Treetops Trail. 4 of the (at least) 5 Tomistomas in the enclosure gathered in the same spot for their feeding.

Was very fun to see them all together in one spot while watching the larger individual chomp down on the large chunk of meat thrown at it.
 
@Fargusno Much appreciated, unfortunately I'm unsure if our yellow False Gharial is indeed a Hypo. I'll see if any of the keepers can confirm it or if not perhaps someone here who's more familiar with our Gharials will
 
To be honest, I think it's a bit disappointing that they are still called False Gharial even after they have been classified as Gavialidae.(although it was once classified as Crocodylidae)
