  • The Toledo Zoo is now the home of Baru, North America's largest saltwater crocodile. He is 17 feet long and weighs approximately 1,500 pounds. Baru's journey began in Darwin, Australia and his flight was 30 hours. The video above includes recordings from throughout the trip.
    Video segments were recorded by Big Gecko and the Toledo Zoo.

    I recently saw Baru at the Toledo Zoo, and I am happy to report he seems very comfortable. the zoo did quite well in constructing his habitat. And I must confess he blends in quite well so I was kinda startled when I finally noticed him. He is alot bigger then the alligators I work with.

      This croc was removed because it was deemed a danger to people, pets and livestock. This is why we only have an average of one death per year by crocodile, compared to many 100's in Africa and Asia. This croc will never want for protection, food or vet care and will likely live one or two decades more than in the wild.

    If I had unlimited money and resources and a scary giant croc I would make small river or stream for him to that that he could do laps in. The stream will come back around to the lagoon. Then have glass at some parts to see him swim with a view below water level.

      No, he was removed from his habitat in Australia be ayse if the risk to people, pets, or livestock. They normally relocate them or put them out to "stud" in croc farms. If a zoo puts their hand up for a relocated croc and will pay the expenses, then the Australian government has on occasion agreed to this. In some situations the croc may be euthanised, if their are no options for relocation or captivity. This croc will live a luxurious life, probably several decades more than in the wild.
