Wild crocodiles are unconditionally protected in South America, Asia, Africa and Australia. Consequently, these magnificent animals are not hunted. The entire importing process is monitored, starting in the exporting country and ending in the importing country.<\/p>\n
During the breeding season, the crocodiles’ eggs are collected and then incubated in incubators. After the eggs are hatched, the crocodiles are moved into a breeding enclosure that mimics their natural habitat. Here, the animals can move freely over land or through water.<\/p>\n
The most commonly imported crocodile meat is that of the Nile crocodile. Nile crocodile meat is pale, almost white. The meat is firm and has some fat throughout it. Crocodile tastes similar to poultry. The crocodiles on crocodile farms are on a proprietary diet. This consists of 10% fish and 90% vegetable pellets. This way, the meat retains its unique flavour.<\/p>\n
