A Monumental Moment in Conservation
The Fort Worth Zoo is celebrating a record-breaking fourth consecutive year of gharial crocodile hatchings, with eight gharials hatching this summer. This massive conservation achievement brings the Zoo’s juvenile gharial population from 5 to 13 in one season. The milestone further solidifies the Zoo’s leadership in gharial conservation: Fort Worth Zoo remains the only institution in North America to have produced multiple offspring of this critically endangered species and the only institution to have successfully repeated the achievement in consecutive years.
