5 enclosures for American alligators and 6 for saltwater crocodiles sounds excessive.

I actually like it. The Saltwater crocodiles, many of which were caught by Steve, were his pride and joy and represent the origins of the zoo as a reptile park - an important historical link.

Australia Zoo’s identity is built around crocodiles and I’m sure any visitor (as I did as a kid on my first visit) goes with an expectation of seeing more crocodiles than they can shake a stick at.

A single Saltwater crocodile exhibit like you can see at many Australian facilities would simply not cut it imo.
