Welcome to Perth Zoo

Perth Zoo’s half-tonne Estuarine Crocodile spends most of his time doing what crocs do best – conserving energy.

Perth Zoo’s half-tonne Estuarine Crocodile spends most of his time doing what crocs do best – conserving energy. 

He may look like a sunken log in a waterhole, but ‘Dangalabba’ is as real as they come. We promise! Despite what you see on TV, crocodiles only eat once a month through winter, with their appetite picking up as the weather gets warmer.

Between times, their survival depends on them conserving energy until they really need it, so they sink to the bottom of a waterhole or doze on its shores and wait for something delicious to come to the water’s edge.
