Zoo offering swimming with crocodiles ordered to separate them from humans – via Herp Digest


www.rt.times, 11/4/17

Feeding the crocodiles and even swimming with them has been one of the main attractions of a unique German zoo. However, a court ruling says the reptiles must be separated from the visitors.

“Only here you get the opportunity not only to see and observe crocodiles up close, but also to ‘understand’ them,” reads the website of the Crocodile Zoo in the city of Friedberg, Germany. Unique experiences under a guide’s watch include breakfast buffet in the enclosure with the crocodiles, and swimming with them – the latter being for adults only.

To get even closer, “particularly daring” guests can place their heads inside a 3.5-meter crocodile’s mouth.


While these activities are available for those 18 and older, children can also participate by having a birthday party in the crocodile zoo and getting a souvenir photo with the reptiles.
