60 Seconds with Dr Gavin Bedford at Crocosaurus Cove, Darwin

What is your favourite reptile at Crocosaurus Cove?

At this point in time my favourite reptile in the park is our baby carpet python named Chimera and itโ€™s only 3 weeks old.

Who is the favourite celebrity that you have met while working at Crocosaurus Cove?

I would have to say Anthony Lapaglia and Jess Mauboy tie for first place of my favourite celebrities to have come through the park, both very humble.

What makes Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin’s Northern Territory so special?

We have some reptiles that are unknown to science. But right now, our most unusual would have to be the Pig-nosed turtle. Recent research has found that they are actually carnivores where, for the last 30 years they have thought to have been herbivores.
