Freshwater croc.


We also have an injured freshwater crocodile in at the moment. She was hit by a car which broke her lower jaw so badly that it was only hanging on by skin. He is a photo of her before surgery and unfortunately we had to amputate the last 15 cm of her jaw. However it seems crocs are survivors not only has she recovered well from the surgery. (she is very feisty) but there seems to be lots of fat healthy crocs living out there in the wild with bits of jaw missing so she will be released in the next week of so once her medications are finished.
