Oldest crocodilian in captivity ever

The oldest crocodilian in captivity ever was Hakuna, an African slender-snouted crocodile (Mecistops cataphractus) that lived in Diergaarde Blijdorp, a zoo in Rotterdam, Netherlands. He was acquired by the zoo in 1929 and lived there until his death on 19 February 2015, 85 years later.

Hakuna came into the Blijdorp zoo with a female crocodile, Matata, who died on 17 July 2014. Both were a gift from famous singer and dancer Josephine Baker and already fully grown when entering the zoo, which made it difficult to determine their age. They were two of the few animals to have survived the bombing of Rotterdam in 1940 that almost completely destroyed the old zoo.
