Description: Established in the year 1978, Crocodile Sanctuary was developed for raising the newly born crocodiles.

Newly born crocodiles are collected from the nearby river and are further raised here. Once able to fend for themselves, these crocodiles are shifted to Chambal Rivers, where they can experience real life. This sanctuary also houses various other species of animals, such as sambar deer, spotted deer and black buck. This park has something for everybody, as it houses a cafeteria, children’s park and a resting room also.
