Nile Crocodile Enclosure - Bergen Akvariet 2012

Bergen Akvariet January 2012

This is the enclosure for male Nile Crocodile "Samson" and his two wives. Sansom is Scandinavia's largest crocodile, weighing 300kg and exceeding 4m in length. All three crocs arrived January 2009. This is a very poor enclosure, located in the aquarium's basement, and doesn't give these animals the room they need. Also, it is very hard to get good views of the crocodiles.

Both Samson and the two females are owned by Crocodile Zoo in Denmark and on loan to Bergen Akvariet. They were supposed to have been back already but have been so popular in Norway that they have had their stay extended.

That is interesting. I hope they go back to the Crocodile Zoo soon (assuming it has a better enclosure) as I don't think this enclosure is suitable. Might be OK for a smaller species (or specimens).
