Crocodylus Park, Wildlife park in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia
Description
Crocodylus Park is a wildlife facility in Darwin that specializes in caring for and studying crocodiles, housing more than one thousand of these reptiles. The grounds also feature lions, meerkats, and spider monkeys in separate enclosures.
History
A crocodile biologist named Grahame Webb founded the park in 1994 to support wildlife research and conservation efforts. This founding helped advance understanding and protection of local reptiles.
Culture
The park shows how crocodiles fit into the local natural world and how people and these reptiles coexist in Australia. Visitors learn why protecting these animals matters for the region's ecosystem.
Practical
The park sits about 15 minutes from Darwin's center and welcomes visitors daily. Most activities take place outdoors, so sun protection and comfortable clothing are recommended.
Did you know?
Visitors can hold young crocodiles under guidance and take part in supervised feeding sessions. These experiences often stay in memory since few people get such direct contact with large predators.
