The Fort Worth Zoo has a lot to smile about, and these days their grins can't be bigger for what officials are calling four "groundbreaking births."
For only the second time in the history of the US, four critically endangered gharial crocodiles hatched at the zoo!
According to NBC DFW, there are currently 35 gharial crocodiles living among nine institutions in North America, with some 200 adults able to reproduce estimated to be in the wild.
Fort Worth Zoo officials said in a statement that the zoo "is incredibly proud to announce this groundbreaking conservation success, quadrupling the number of births to ever take place in the U.S."
