It's a surprising sight: in the largest crocodile farm in the Mediterranean, 400 Nile crocodiles evolve in a setting that reconnects with the Saharan and African depths of the country, among papyrus, palm trees and banana trees. They laze in the sun in the ponds and the tropical greenhouse before frolicking and fighting for food. A real change of scenery.
An imposing fort evoking desert architecture marks the entrance to the wildlife park. It is to the sound of African music that we let ourselves be guided towards the pools and the tropical greenhouse where swim – or rather laze in the sun – 400 Nile crocodiles, brought from Madagascar. The Nile crocodile is one of the largest species of crocodilians, it can reach, for certain males, up to 7 meters and weigh almost a ton. Its morphology makes it one of the most formidable species.
