Slender-snouted crocodile feed

Chimpanzee House, Colchester, 21st April 2018.
'Caroline' getting a quail after responding correctly to her target training, by touching a white plastic target with her snout. I saw her being given three quails.
 
@ThylacineAlive This female is listed as Mecistops cataphractus in Zootierliste. I am no expert on crocodilians but the presenter said that Caroline's sister Cordelia was moved to Crocodiles of the World after the sisters fell out. The CotW website says that they were hatched at Emmen in 1998.
 
@gentle lemur M. cataphractus was split a couple years ago into a Critically Endangered West African (cataphractus) and a Vulnerable Central African (yet to be named) species. I think Emmen has a mixed pair so that would make these animals hybrids.
