Meet the cute critters from the Top End.
learning about reptiles
Crocosaurus Cove presents the World’s largest display of Australian Reptiles, with over 70 species of reptiles on display.
All reptiles on display are from the Top End and Kimberley region of Australia and can vary greatly in look to their southern counterparts.
A reptile can be described as a vertebrate (ie has a backbone) that derives it’s body temperature from an external source, such as the sun. It’s body is covered in skin from which grow scales. Some scales are very difficult to see as found on geckos, while other reptiles have modified scales that create a suit of armour or plating as seen in turtles.
Get up close to some of these amazing critters in our Meet the Reptile show & learn more about what they like for lunch during our Reptile Feeding show.
Our Reptile Team are always on hand to assist with questions so don’t be shy!
