Meet NZ’s Only Giant Saltwater Crocodiles

In April 2009 our two huge Aussie Saltwater crocodiles were saved and relocated from Australia to their new tropical billabong home at Butterfly Creek. Scar and Goldie were captured as they had become problem crocodiles.

Crocodiles are ambush predators which means that they wait for their food to come to them and they do not need a massive land area in order to be happy. These guys have the life – sunbathing, eating, sleeping and swimming! Keepers feed them small amounts in the encounters, ensuring they ‘work’ for their meals.
