Very sad news for Chinese zoos. Xiaohe (meaning little river in Chinese), the largest pure captive saltwater crocodile from China-Africa Wildlife Park, Xiamen, has passed away a few days ago due to illness.
Xiaohe was born in Singapore and later handled to the Taiwanese crocodile farmer Mr. Qiu, who named him Xiaohe. Qiu gives Xiaohe to Xiamen as a gift of friendship of the relationships of Mainland and Taiwan. Unfortunately, since 2022, it has been exposed that Xiaohe has been physically abused in the zoo along with the other animals. Even though volunteers and fans take action to cure him, but failed to avail as illness consecutively appears.
So long Xiaohe at around age 40.
