Let’s talk Croc Eggs this Easter!<br />
Whilst we don’t have any hatching eggs this Easter (our croc eggs<br />
tend to hatch in summer!) croc eggs are so cool that we like to<br />
talk about them all year round! For example did you know that;<br />
• Croc eggs take around 70 days to hatch.<br />
• All alligators and caimans, and about half the crocodile species<br />
lay their eggs above ground in ‘mound nests’ made from leaves,<br />
grasses etc.<br />
• The other half of the crocodile species dig ‘hole nests’ in sandy<br />
river banks.<br />
• Baby crocodilians are called ‘hatchlings.’<br />
Come learn more facts, see our nesting displays and discover how<br />
much last year’s hatchlings have grown!<br />
