King Crocodle is a major attraction in Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa
There is an Australian king crocodile in the Dubai Aquarium. It is the first exhibition of its kind in the world.
Dubai is a city of entertainment for adults and children. Every year new avenues of entertainment open up and now there is the Australian King Crocodile with a companion who lives in the Aquarium delighting children and adults.
The Dubai Aquarium is located in the largest shopping mall in the world – the Dubai Mall. Its display is unique and exciting. Nowhere in the world is such a gigantic species of animal available in an aquarium and it is also found within the center of a shopping complex. The Aquarium has a new addition and is part of Dubai Tourism’s efforts to open up new perspectives of entertainment in the city. The Aquarium now has a pair of king crocs as guests. The crocodiles were imported from a farm in Australia and expertly transported to Dubai. They live together with sharks and 3,000 other species of aquatic animals in a vast aquarium with millions of cubic feet of water.
Crocodiles can be observed up close, a few inches from a glass partition.
The male has a female partner and they have both produced a baby crocodile as well. The Dubai Aquarium is the largest aquarium in the world and it will take at least 2-4 hours to do justice to the wild marine life preserved there.
The crocodile is part of a special enclosure and also has an entrance fee. The ticket marked to see the king crocodile is AED 210 or $ 52. It is quite expensive price-wise, but well worth it. The king crocodile in Dubai is about 5 meters long and fully grown. He is in his 20s and was raised on a farm in Australia. He and his companion were transported in a special container to Dubai last year.
Dubai is the largest shopping center in the world and for visitors, winter is the best time to spend the holidays, as the “Dubai Shopping Festival” lasts until the end of January. Seeing the king crocodile and the other aquatic animals is an added bonus, not to mention the Burj Khalifa, the tallest tower in the world towering over the city. For me, seeing the sleeping pot and resting up close is like a cake and I loved it. Some animal lovers have felt that a captive crocodile is not a good thing, but how is wildlife preserved for generations?
