It’s check-up time for Lyle the crocodile

Even crocs need their check-ups! Lyle the crocodile underwent a routine physical exam this week. Exams like these require a huge amount of planning and teamwork to ensure the health and safety of our staff and the animal, and we’re happy to share that everything went smoothly for Lyle, who at 46-years-old is the oldest resident in the Tropical Forest exhibit! Measuring approximately 5 feet long and weighing 57 pounds, our patient appears to be in good health and was back on exhibit immediately following his exam.
