Crocodiles of the World
Crocodiles of the World is a zoo in Brize Norton, Oxfordshire in the United Kingdom specialising in crocodilia. History
Crocodiles of the world was started by Shaun Foggett in 2011 at a site in Crawley Mill, Witney, before moving to Brize Norton, both in Oxfordshire, UK. The creation of the original zoo was documented by a film crew for television show 'Croc Man, broadcast on Channel 5. Mr Foggett had to sell his family home to fund the starting of the zoo. Animals
There are 19 of the 24 crocodile species in the world at the park, along with a range of other retiles, turtles, and tortoises, including a group of Galapagos tortoise. As well as the reptiles and amphibians, there are some meerkats, tamarins and birds. The zoo has been involved in rescue rehoming, such as with taking in a crocodile which was kept in a greenhouse in Sweden. A breeding programme has been successful, including being the first UK zoo (and second in Europe) to breed the false gharial (Tomistoma) crocodile with 10 of that species hatched in 2017. Visitor experience
