Some information about the Crocoseum
The Crocoseum is the fulfillment of one of Steve Irwin's lifelong dreams. Steve wanted to provide the visitors to Australia Zoo with the opportunity to see crocodiles in clear water ponds. This idea was to help educate the public by showing them how crocodiles live and behave in the wild.Crocodiles use the murkiness of the water in their territory to camouflage from their prey. By using clear water, we can highlight for you the dangers that can be lurking just below the surface of a seemingly serene billabong.
Steve's dream was to be able to use an intricate system of channels and gates to allow him to house several male Saltwater Crocodiles alongside each other in private enclosures, and bring them individually out into the centre of the Crocoseum for our crocodile shows.
Not only did he disprove his critics, who said "It just CAN'T be done", he has provided Australia Zoo with the perfect arena to display some of the most beautiful animals on the face of the earth. This includes not just our crocs, but animals such as our snakes and one of the most amazing free-flight bird shows you will ever see.
Overall, the construction team took almost eleven months to complete the mammoth task. They spent weeks bringing in nearly 7000 cubic metres of dirt to level the building site! Crikey! That is a lot of dirt.
