Croc feeding part of menu at wildlife park
VISITORS to a Port Douglas wildlife park will be able to feed a crocodile. Wildlife Habitat has launched a new private croc feeding experience.
General manager Clare Anderson said guests – guided by professional croc keepers – will be able to feed the reptiles and witness firsthand the power of their jaws, their ingenious hunting methods, and their tenacity for survival.
“Serving as a fantastic addition to the renowned ‘swim with the salties’ experience, visitors can feel the thrill of nature as they feed these magnificent reptiles while gaining valuable insights into their behaviour and habitat conservation,” she said. “Also new is the exclusive two-hour ‘your wildnight habitat’, the only private nocturnal tour of its kind in Port Douglas, taking visitors on an enchanting journey through the park after dark.
“Led by knowledgeable wildlife keepers, this after-hours adventure offers a unique glimpse into the fascinating world of night-time wildlife.
“The tour ensures an intimate and unforgettable experience, including encounters with elusive marsupials and nocturnal creatures as they come to life in their natural habitats.
“These immersive encounters promise to ignite curiosity, cultivate appreciation, and underscore our commitment to wildlife conservation.”
