This farm which has a shop featuring the sale of exotic meats became , according to The Sunday Telegraph , the first British farm to breed crocodiles in captivity .

Four Nile crocodiles were obtained in 2006 , 3 of these which were supposedly female , but turned out to be male , were killed by the dominant male Romeo . After 3 more females were acquired 2 babies were born in July 2011 .

The owners now plan to build a larger Crocodile House , measuring 150ft x 60ft , to accommodate a commercial breeding programme for meat production .

Also to be seen at the farm - rhea , llama , alpaca , wallabies , white storks and ostrich .
 
Has anyone eaten a stork? Could they tell it from butter?*
