As I understand it Arthur Jones and Earl Brockelsby brought in a number of adult Niles..big ones. I'll ask Kenny tomorrow to clarify. I do know that when Arthur gave up on animals most of the crocs that Kenny brought from the Alligator Farm in CA as well as whatever Arthur owned really disipated.. I think Crutchfield may have gotten some, Ken worked for him for a couple of weeks before coming up to BHRG but a lot of Kens stuff ended up at Gatorland and St. Augustine. I think they got his tomistoma and gharials etc...He brought his 14' female porosus, the original pair of Cubans that he bred, the female we still have. Among others. Though the two that we can't seem to find out where they went were Umphan and Makulu (sp) The two great big Niles. Ken always wondered what happened to them... We always suspected one of them went to Haast's place that ended up getting a kid who jumped/fell in the pond....Anyone have details of those two niles?
