Image Gallery: Freshwater Crocodile transfers
The Australian Museum’s Freshwater Crocodile, Crocodylus johnstoni; “Stanley” was transferred after reaching the maximum length that he can be kept in his current exhibit. Stanley or "Stan" was flown to a crocodile farm near Rockhampton where he will join a breeding program (when he has matured in a few years).
Three new, yet to be named, hatching Freshwater Crocodiles arrived at the Australian Museum later that week.
