Welcome to Crocodiles of the World…
Come face-to-face with some of the world’s most feared predators in a fun, safe and stimulating environment. With under-water viewing, talks, animal encounters and feeds throughout the day there’s plenty to keep you occupied at the UK’s only Crocodile Zoo. We are dedicated to the conservation of these incredible animals and want to share our passion with you.
From critically endangered Siamese crocodiles from Cambodia, to Chinese alligators, Nile Crocodiles and American alligators, a visit to Crocodiles of the World in Oxfordshire will take you on a journey of discovery around the world meeting different species of crocodiles, caiman and alligators, as well as meerkats, Binturong and Galapagos tortoises. We’re also one of only four zoos in the UK where you can see a Komodo dragon, the world’s largest living lizard. So whether your looking for a family day-out, unique keeper experiences, school trip or group visit, Crocodiles of the World is a truly memorable day.

The leaf appears to believe it has successfully concealed the Spectacled Caiman behind it.
It has not...but we appreciate the effort. 🍃👀
If you were wondering whether the Yacaré caiman had noticed you, this should settle the matter. 🤓
Its eyes and nostrils sit high on the head, providing an excellent view while the rest of the animal remains low and inconspicuous. 👀
From the first tiny cracks to their first look at the world… 🥚🐊✨
Watch these male American alligators begin pipping, slowly work their way through their shells and finally emerge.
Looking unbelievably cute! 💚
Shaun explains the fascinating hatching process, including how incubation temperature influences whether an alligator develops as male or female. 🌡️
These youngsters were bred following requests from other wildlife collections. Our team will now care for them as they grow, before they eventually move to their new homes. 🌱🏡
If you want to see what they look like when they’re fully grown, come and visit Crocodiles of the World and meet our two adult American alligators! 🐊🐊✨
Happy World Lizard Day!
Crocodilians aren`t the only remarkable reptiles you`ll encounter here. Our lizard residents range from small and colourful chameleons to powerful monitor lizards, including Batu, our Komodo dragon, which represents the largest living lizard species in the world.
Whether they are climbing, swimming, exploring, or using their forked tongues to investigate their surroundings, each species has its own incredible adaptations.
Which lizard is your favourite?
