Dubai Mall Aquarium & Underwater Zoo has become home to a bask of crocodiles until September 30.
The crocodiles have been bought to the UAE as part of the 'Crocodylia' campaign aimed at highlighting the importance of conservation of crocodiles and their role in ecosystems.
Gordon White, general manager of Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, said: “There is something new for every visitor, and we are committed to continuously enhance the experience through innovative campaigns”.

“Crocodylia will tell the fascinating story of crocodiles, how they survived and how their existence is being threatened by illicit trade in crocodile hide and artifacts”.
Visitors to the mall will come face-to-face with one of nature’s bravest survivors including the Cuvier’s Dwarf Caiman and the West African Dwarf crocodiles, gaining new insights on the behavioural patterns of crocodiles, including the fact that they are more related to birds than most reptiles, and that they exercise genuine parental care.
Crocodiles ave been around for more than 84 million years and today, the diversity of their species is facing imminent threats due to extinction and habitat loss. Much-feared and often misunderstood, crocodiles will take centre stage at the new ‘Crocodylia’ campaign held from the first day of Eid Al Fitr until September 30th, at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo, one of the world’s largest indoor aquariums.
