Snake show in the Crocoseum

In 1987 the Irwin’s built the Crocodile Environmental Park. Steve’s dad was fed up with saltwater crocodiles being killed and skinned by crocodile farmers and was desperate to educate people about crocodiles to try and make this behaviour unacceptable.
Steve spent most of the late 80’s in north Queensland capturing crocodiles, mostly to save their lives and relocate them. Some of them he sent back to the park, these crocs were to become the stars of the Crocodile Environmental Park. Steve would normally do a daily crocodile feeding demonstration, but if he was away then Wes or Kelsey would do it to ensure the park was a success.
