Buc is a male American Crocodile . This crocodile is the largest animal at Croc Encounters at over 12 feet long.
He has been at the sanctuary since 2005. Buc came from an education zoo in Marion County, FL. Initially he was placed in a large earth pond along with his brother, Seminole.
The two had been housed together their whole lives but after the move from the zoo, Buc established the new enclosure as his territory. He would not allow Seminole into the water and would not allow him to eat. The two were separated and they have both been doing well on their own since then.
One of Buc’s favorite things to do is dig holes in his enclosure. He is a big boy and he has burrowed holes long enough for his entire body to fit completely into. Buc was moved from his original pond to a new earth pond. Since then his pond has been redone several times. It must be completely re-dug every 6 to 12 months due to his digging behavior.
