Chester Zoo Philippine Crocs

[CZJimmy]

Just searching the back of my memory, but am I right in saying that enclosure isn't very big. Are there plans for a new enclosure in the future, or are the crocs still quite small at this stage?

I haven't seen the crocodiles in it, but I reckon it is a decent size for the pair. There is a seperation barrier in at the moment, but once this is opened, the area will be even larger.

The left hand enclosure of the pair is roughly on the site of the original alligator pool. The right hand one is where there was a shallow pool that was occasionally used by the birds in the house. There was a sort of rockery without many plants behind it.

I have just uploaded 2 photos to the Chester gallery of the crocodile that swam past the window.
