Скачать или смотреть Crocodiles, Komodos & Conservation: The Story of Madras Croc Bank

Step inside the Madras Crocodile Bank, India’s pioneering reptile conservation centre founded by Rom and Zai Whitaker in 1976. What began as a bold experiment to save India’s three crocodile species has today grown into one of the world’s most important reptile facilities — home to over 48 species of reptiles.

Director Pramila Rajan traces her own journey from fear of reptiles to leading India’s most important reptile park; the founders (Zai Whitaker & Rom Whitaker) recall the struggles and unlikely beginnings of setting up a crocodile farm on the coast of Tamil Nadu. Vani Damodaran, Zoo Educator talks about the different reptiles at the farm, Angeline Samuel, reveals the daily care and quirky personalities of Komodo dragons, iguanas, and crocodiles; veterinarian Dr. Ruchika Lakshmanan takes us inside the reptile hospital, where X-rays, ultrasounds and even ICU care save lives.
