They're keeping a full-grown crocodile in captivity there. Why isn't it being released into the wild?

Three reasons: 1. The crocodile is being used to educate the public about them. 2. The crocodile has now associated people with food which, if released, would pose an extremely dangerous threat to humans. 3. It is quite clearly stated that he is a massive animal, try moving a prehistoric powerhouse, longer than a mini van, weighing 1000kg, has the strongest bite of any animal on the planet and is extremely aggressive, out of a building that has at times narrow hallways.
