Australia Zoo, Croc's

One of the main attractions to Australia Zoo is of course the Crocodiles! At the Zoo there are Saltwater and Freshwater Crocodiles. Saltwater Crocodiles eat to their size, so the bigger they are the bigger the prey that they would eat. Freshwater Crocodiles have a more narrow snout, which is one way of knowing the difference between Saltwater and Freshwater Crocodiles, apart from the obvious, their habitat!

Crocodiles are dangerous in whatever situation, but at the Zoo the keepers know what they are doing, especially during feeding time. In the wild, warning signs should be taken seriously and respect to your guide's instructions should be adhered to.

Feeding time at the Zoo is a must. The keepers educate you on the Crocodiles and you get to see just how enormous and powerful these reptiles really are.

All in all, Australia Zoo is not just about looking at animals, its about educating the public on conservation and endangered species. We all would prefer animals to be living in their natural habitat and not in Zoo's, but unfortunately in this day and age it is not possible.
