Meet Boom, our Nile crocodile! With a bite force measuring up to 5,000 pounds, Nile crocodiles are ambush predators, taking their prey by surprise when drinking from watering holes. Boom definitely lives up to his name! | San Antonio Zoo

Training Nile crocodiles 🐊🐊🐊 We train them to go to their own feeding spots in the Oasis on the Nile habitat and to the platform to jump. This is good exercise and enrichment, as well as allow us to monitor their behaviors, so we can act quickly if they are not feeling well. We feed these crocodiles once a week, but crocodilian feeding shows can be seen at 12pm and 3pm around the Zoo everyday.
