Crocodiles of the World, Crocodile zoo in West Oxfordshire, England.
Crocodiles of the World is a zoo in West Oxfordshire dedicated to housing and displaying crocodile and alligator species. The facility includes underwater viewing areas where visitors can watch these reptiles move through water in their enclosures.
The zoo opened in 2011 and was the first facility of its kind in the United Kingdom dedicated entirely to crocodile species. It emerged as a response to the need for a specialized breeding and research center for these reptiles.
The zoo introduces visitors to the behavior and needs of different crocodile species through hands-on encounters with trained staff. People come here to develop a real understanding of these reptiles rather than just see them behind barriers.
The zoo is accessible by car from nearby roads and operates most days throughout the year for visitor access. Comfortable walking shoes are recommended since exploring the grounds and viewing areas requires moving around the facility on foot.
The facility houses rare Siamese crocodiles that exist in very few zoos outside Southeast Asia. This critically endangered species is part of international breeding programs that focus on ensuring their survival.
