    Hi,
    Does anyone know about the history of the American alligators and the freshwater crocodiles at Adelaide Zoo. I know that the alligators have produced eggs but nothing else.
    Thanks.

    Any other reptiles in Adelaide Zoo that you have info on like where they got them from, names and so on that would also be helpful.
    Thanks.

    Yup, those alligators at Adelaide Zoo were imported from Fort Worth Zoo, Texas in 1975.
    They were about 30 cm. long when they arrived (babies.)
