Komodo Dragon Exhibit

Based around animals that can be found within the range of a Saltwater Crocodile, this new exhibit is the largest expansion in the zoo’s 115 year history and displays an impressive list of birds and reptiles, including the imposing Southern Cassowary, the world’s most dangerous bird.

Maximo

At 15 feet 3 inches and 1250 pounds, Maximo is the largest animal in our park. He is a Saltwater Crocodile, or "Saltie" as they call them in Australia. His egg was collected and hatched by aborigines who then sold him to the Cairns Crocodile Farm in Australia. He grew to be 15 feet in less than 30 years and may live to be 60 or even 80 years old. We are thrilled to be able to display this impressive specimen in our park. Don't miss a close-up look at Maximo from our underwater viewing windows.

Wading Bird Rookery

Explore the native swamp exhibit where hundreds of wading birds fly in to roost in the late afternoons. Herons, egrets, ibis, spoonbills and Wood Storks can be seen in their natural environment. These birds seek out evening roosts above the alligators, knowing that alligators will keep tree-climbing predators away. From April through July the birds are in full breeding plumage and are building nests and raising families right in front of our visitors.

Albino Alligators

Glimpse these rare and mystical creatures from the bayous of Louisiana. There is a legend that those who gaze upon these beautiful reptiles will receive good fortune.

Birds of Africa

Journey to the savannahs of Africa and encounter the continent’s largest and most impressive avian scavengers. Carrion eaters such as Cape Griffon Vultures, Hooded Vultures and Marabou Storks squabble and bicker over their prey at the 10:30AM feeding demonstration held on most days. Also on display are the graceful West African Crowned Cranes.

Exotic Birds and Mammals

South American toucans, Australian parrots, Asian pheasants and African hornbills are just a few of the exotic birds on display at the Alligator Farm. The mammal collection includes six different species of endangered monkeys ranging in size from the world's smallest monkey, the mouse-sized Pygmy Marmoset, to the large South American spider monkeys that swing across the branches of their exhibit.

Gomek Forever

At a massive size of almost 18 feet long and nearly 2,000 pounds, Gomek was one of the largest crocodilians ever on display. Gomek is now preserved and part of a rare and beautiful collection of hand carved Papua New Guinea art.

Land of Crocodiles

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm is the only place in the world where you can see every species of crocodilian. There are currently 23 different recognized species.
