Crocodile ZOO Protivín, Crocodile conservation zoo in Protivín, Czech Republic.
The facility maintains over 100 crocodiles, including alligators, caimans, and gavials, with specimens measuring more than four meters in length.
The zoo emerged from private breeding efforts by Miroslav Procházka in 2008, transforming an 18th-century barn into a specialized reptile center.
The zoological museum section displays 1,200 osteological exhibits, including vertebrate skulls and skeletons, supporting scientific research and education.
The zoo opens daily from 10 AM to 4 PM between September and June, with extended hours until 5 PM during July and August.
The facility houses the sole breeding pair of Indian gavials in Europe, consisting of Chambal and Ganga, measuring four and a half meters in length.
