Agro the Saltwater Crocodile

Description

G’day, my name is Agro and I’m an impressive saltwater crocodile. I’m over 4.5 metres long and weigh more than 600 kilograms. Crikey! You might remember me from the original Crocodile Hunter series with Steve; I’m a seasoned TV star!
I got my name ‘Agro’ because, well, I can be very protective of my home – especially from lawnmowers. I have successfully defended my home against many blasted mowers during my lifetime.
I’ve been at Australia Zoo since 1988 and I came to be here because I was frequenting public areas, and seen as a ‘problem crocodile’. My fate may have been different if Steve and the Australia Zoo Crew didn’t rescue me and give me a luxury home and a free feed! It was here I met the love of my life, Cookie.
You can spot me enjoying my lake and sunbaking with my gorgeous girlfriend. Make sure you drop by and say g’day!
