Not sure how to post pix on the forum, so here are some links to pix of our big male S.African nile for a new exhibit. He is approx 13.7ft about 780lbs...

Nice animal. Where is your exhibit? Where did you acquire him from?
Is he young? From the pics it appears his tail is a little light, or is it the angle?

He came from a croc farm in S. Africa. Had been a breeder there for about the past 15-20 years. I do think he was wild collected as a young adult, so I estimate he is around 40years old.
He will be on exhibit at the Dallas Zoo, along with 2 females. The females are about 10ft, one is 350lb and the other 450lb (she is a fat animal that needs to drop some weight).
I'll post pix of the exhibit once it is done. Should open in April.

Another good reason to visit Dallas soon....
Great croc!
