India's largest crocodile park may have as little as four months before it runs out of funds to feed animals, pay staff and do research, as ticket revenue shrinks after coronavirus lockdowns choked the flow of visitors, park officials said.

CHENNAI - India’s largest crocodile park may have as little as four months before it runs out of funds to feed animals, pay staff and do research, as ticket revenue shrinks after coronavirus lockdowns choked the flow of visitors, park officials said.

Annual sales of about 5 million tickets usually make up roughly half the revenue of the park, located about 40 km from the southern city of Chennai, but it has been shut since March 16, with no prospect of reopening in sight. “Our present funding situation will allow us to stay functional for another three or four months,” he told Reuters.

GatorsDaily GatorsDaily merch fundraiser?

you can help them here

This is very sad. Let’s hope those animals are dispersed to a country that can afford to look after them... or if they will survive, just let them live in the wild. narendramodi - anything you can do?

Four months, you say. Can they stretch it to some time in January?

Maybe the govt should sell one Rafale fighter jet

Who needs a crocodile farm? Really?

GatorsDaily Before you say that it is wrong to keep animals like this, you need to understand that many animals are rescued from captivity, and only live thanks to the work of these parks, and the only way to support these poor animals is to open this park to the public to raise money

Get Carole baskins in there, she'll find someone...i mean something to feed them

Where do you see yourself after five years later?

Will the crocodiles in enclosure see its own kind as food?

They might have to make some snap decisions

Eek, I hope they don't just abandon the place and let the crocs roam free.

I don't like them things. They have a nasty bite.

Trump's fault, those poor crocodiles...

Releasing the crocs to their natural habitat now seems the only viable option.

They could always open a handbag shop. 🤣
