Dubai Crocodile Park announces nesting season
During the nesting season, which is announced by Dubai Crocodile Park, female Nile Crocodiles lay their eggs in specific areas of the park.
In a remarkable yearly event, female Nile Crocodiles lay their eggs in specially designated nesting areas within Dubai Crocodile Park, which was announced on Sunday.
The eggs are collected by experts at the Dubai Crocodile Park soon after they are laid. Size, temperature, and shell quality are just a few of the metrics that are painstakingly recorded for each nest. Not only does this method help with conservation efforts, but it also gives us great information about how the crocodile population is doing.
The females have been under close observation, nest inspections, and meticulous egg collection by a curatorial team for the last several weeks. Nile crocodile mothers can lay clutches of 60 eggs and keep them warm for about 90 days in their burrows made of sand. The locations of these nesting sites are carefully selected to avoid potential dangers, such as water and male territories. The gender of the hatchlings is affected by the temperature within the nest, which is an interesting phenomenon.
