Emirates Park Zoo and Resort’s residents Dundee and Ashanti are not your typical pets, but have become the star attraction of the zoo. The two saltwater, Nile crocodiles and their caretaker Harry are preparing to welcome guests with an interactive feeding session designed to turn up the excitement of children and adults alike.
Under the expertise of crocodile specialist Stuart King, both Dundee and Ashanti have smoothly socialized into its natural habitat and new home set in Emirates Park Zoo’s Animal Paradise section. Both Dundee and Ashanti are currently undergoing training with the diligent staff of Emirates Park Zoo, to receive guests for the feeding sessions that will open shortly. The feeding program will take place daily at the enclosure that has been specially built to ensure the safety of the visitors and the crocodiles.
Harry, the head keeper of the reptile house who oversaw the crocodiles’ training, transfer and will conduct the feeding sessions introduced them with a statement, “Dundee is our male who is sized at an impressive 3.5m in length and weighs 150kgs. His mate Ashanti is slightly smaller at 2.5m and is approximately 100kgs heavy. I will oversee our guests who will stand on a platform above the crocodile enclosure, from where we will be feeding Dundee and Ashanti”.
“They share a unique bond with each other and are comfortable in their new home. I’m excited to share this new experience with guests,” he concluded.
