Where is this? Nice pics. That Nile doesn't look 13'5 and 780 in the photos though.

The new exhibit in the Wilds of Africa portion of the Dallas Zoo.
The male is 780lbs and 13.5"...We measured & weighed him on 6 April 2006 during the transfer into the new exhibit. He is from South Africa & has spent the last year in holding where he lost about 40lbs. He refussed to eat for 4 months after his initial arrival.
The pic does not really allow you to see his full size. I will try to get better ones later.
Same male at his former home in South Africa

I appreciate it.
