Philippine crocodile

June 17, 2022
@JigerofLemuria I think you’re right about it being a Cuban crocodile. The signage for this exhibit said it was for Philippine crocodile, so I just assumed that’s what it was. Apparently their Philippine passed away sometime during the summer, so I’m guessing they had just replaced it with a Cuban and hadn’t taken the old signage down yet when I visited.
 
Yes this is a Cuban. Their one Philippine died earlier in the year and was a full adult. They have several Cubans.

Here's a photo of her:
