On Day Two of our Mahabalipuram trip, we visited the Madras Crocodile Bank founded by Romulus Whitaker. The Madras Croc Bank has a large collection of crocodiles and alligators. Of these, the salt water crocs are the oldest residents of the bank, having nested here every year since 1983!

The Croc Bank has a lot of informative boards put up to share interesting research from their studies. Apart from crocs and alligators, the Croc Bank also has snakes, iguanas, and turtles. We also saw the Giant Aldabra Tortoise. Aldabras are the second largest tortoises, and can grow to over 1.5 meters in length. They also have one of the longest life spans of about 150 years! Other attractions at the Croc Bank are a snake de-venomizing area, selfie corners, a cafe, and a gift shop.
