Zoo Tampa at Lowry Park Philippine Crocodile?

[SwampDonkey]

I can see on Google streetview that there used to be Philippine Crocodiles over in the Florida area (oddly), beside the water ride. Does anyone have any idea when they went away and if so, to where? I was not aware that they had them, it could not have been that long that they were on display.

I remember one in the exhibit by the log ride (former white alligator). It moved briefly to where the tomistoma currently resides. But haven't seen it years. It wasn't in their crocodilian back holding either. I don't know where it went but I'm pretty sure it came from Silver Springs after the park shut down the zoo operation.

That all makes a lot of sense. I wonder if it ended up going over to Gatorland or St. Augustine, I can't remember if they have them or not.

That said, I love those tomistomas. They are one of my favorite crocodilians. On another note, I would love if they had/would add salties to the Australian area.

I don’t know about Gatorland, but St. Augustine definitely has Philippine crocodiles.

Funny enough I was just at Gatorland this past November, I don't remember them being there, but I could have missed them, especially if they were not labeled on the enclosure. They have a few animals mixed in enclosure that you would not expect, especially in the back "Jungle Crocs" area and the large pond in the front.
