Adopt the Estuarine Crocodile

Thank you for your caring decision to adopt the Estuarine Crocodile, this ‘snappy’ carnivore also called the Saltwater Crocodile.

This protected reptile is from Northern Australia and Eastern Queensland. Prior to the protection of this species in the 1970s, the Estuarine Crocodile was hunted intensely and was listed as a threatened species. After years of legal protection, their numbers have increased, and their threatened status has been removed.

Your symbolic adoption will provide essential support to help take care of the ambassador Estuarine Crocodile at Perth Zoo and protect threatened species from Australia and around the world.

Fun Fact: The Estuarine Crocodile is the world’s largest living reptile. Although occasionally seen in the open ocean, this species is mostly estuarine (meaning it tends to remain in the estuaries where river meets ocean).

Please select your chosen adoption level to start your 12-month support of this toothy Australian species today.
