Australia-Animal-Crocodile

A 700 kilogram crocodile called Rex - who is one of the worlds largest crocodiles - cruises around his enclosure after receiving his first feed after emerging from three months of hibernation at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo on October 3, 2012. Throughout winter, it is common for crocodiles to enter a period of inactivity where they survive on their existing energy stores inside their body but once the weather starts warming up, so does their appetite - to indicate their need to replenish their energy. Rex, who has been a resident of WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo since 2009, was a so-called rogue crocodile who was captured and placed into a crocodile farm near Darwin in the Northern Territory when his taste for local pet dogs drew him too close to the human population.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the magnificent Rex, a 700-kilogram crocodile, as he gracefully navigates his enclosure at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo. After emerging from three months of hibernation, Rex eagerly devours his first meal, signaling the end of his dormant period. As winter descends upon Australia, it is customary for crocodiles to enter a state of inactivity and rely on their internal energy reserves. However, with the arrival of warmer weather comes an insatiable appetite for these ancient reptiles. Rex's story is one of resilience and second chances. Once considered a rogue crocodile due to his penchant for local pet dogs, he was captured and relocated to a crocodile farm near Darwin in the Northern Territory. Since finding refuge at WILD LIFE Sydney Zoo in 2009, Rex has become one of the world's largest living crocodiles—a testament to both his size and survival skills. Photographer William West skillfully captures this momentous occasion through his lens—an image that showcases not only Rex's immense power but also highlights the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. This horizontal panoramic shot allows us to appreciate every detail—every scale on Rex's majestic body—as he glides effortlessly through water. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring creature basking in newfound vitality after months of dormancy, we are reminded of nature's remarkable ability to adapt and rejuvenate itself—a reminder that even amidst chaos and uncertainty lies hope for renewal.
