In this video we were able to capture the baby crocodiles very first breath and sounds.

The African Slender-snouted Crocodiles are rarely bred in captivity and little is known about their habits in the wild. With this breeding we have already learned that the parents opened the nest and carried the eggs to the water to free their young from the eggs. We have also learned that they are both fantastic parents, defending their babies very aggressively.

This is a very important pairing as both of these animals are wild caught and have never bred in captivity prior to this. Their genes are an important part of the population of M. cataphractus in captivity.
