Cool Critters building/Marsh Meadows

Habitats from this angle/view: West African Dwarf Crocodile in left habitat and various turtle species in right habitat
Is the left habitat not signed as well? We saw a sign contrasting gators to crocs but saw no sign of life. Thinking back on it, it looks like the dwarf crocodile would be tough to find so maybe we just gave up on looking too soon. However, the caiman was also no where to be seen nor was it signed. I didn't even know there was a caiman until I did some research the following day.
 
@Moebelle so both sides of the Marsh Meadows on this side are unsigned. From this view, the left side marsh is home to a young west African dwarf crocodile and the marsh on the right side has an assortment of pond turtles. There’s a smaller marsh on the other side of the building, its home to a few Amazon turtles and 2-3 cuvier’s dwarf caiman. The electronic signage for them is on the inside of the building, next to the glass viewing of the Amazon turtles/ dwarf caiman exhibit :) It rotates through to show the inhabitants.
