Exhibit Animal Profiles
Induna is an animal you will definitely want to see.  The name Induna is a Zulu word used to show respect to a tribal leader's right hand man.  That is, when the chief is away, Induna's in charge!  We will surely trust Induna to keep everything and everyone in line when we are absent from the zoo. 

Aside from being our right hand, Induna is the largest of his kind on display in Canada.  He is 4 meters long and he weighs 450 kg (1,000 pounds).  His species is also the deadliest of his kind in the world because they kill and consume more human prey than any other species on earth.

Induna is a Nile crocodile.  He and his companion Nandi arrived on a flight from Johannesburg, South Africa via Amsterdam on December 9th, 2006.  Peter Watson, the owner and operator of Crocodile Creek crocodile farm near Durban South Africa, delivered both animals safe and sound.  They are now getting accustomed to their new surroundings.
