In a place like Australia Zoo, you really can’t help but be entertained no matter where you go – there are just too many awesome animals to see, thrilling wildlife encounters to experience and friendly, informative staff to meet! But the entertainment factor goes up a notch when you hit our Animal Planet Crocoseum. Make sure you’re in the Crocoseum for our daily free flight BirdsLIVE, one-of-a-kind SnakesLIVE, drop-dead gorgeous TigersLIVE and of course, the world-famous CrocsLIVE! It goes off!
Steve and Terri have appointed three larrikins – Adam, Ben and Jeremy – as your mad masters of ceremonies for all the action in the Crocoseum. These boys are a dynamic team and they’re always ready for a good time, whether they’re hosting the daily Crike-Off competition or encouraging guests to show off their best Steve or Terri impersonation. They’re not your typical masters of ceremonies, but by crikey they’re a lot of fun!
ANIMAL PLANET CROCOSEUM
Masters of Ceremonies
The Voices of the Crocoseum! Ben, Jeremy and Adam have a ripper of a time every day in the Animal Planet Crocoseum, running around and having a laugh as they entertain the crowds between animal shows. And boy, do they love a crowd! With 5000 seats in the Crocoseum, it’s the perfect stomping ground for these boys to strut their stuff.

CROCODILE HUNTER
Steve & Terri Irwin
Sometimes the Crocoseum party is crashed by a different set of Irwins. They’re a little bit cheeky! Check them out as they enter crocodile territory in a somewhat rowdy manner and attempt to take over the place. Will they show the genuine Crocodile Hunters how it’s really done? (Um… probably not.)
SNAKE SHOW
First Aider & the Yobbo
Our bandage-happy First Aider is always on hand to save the day when the resident Yobbo teaches everybody how NOT to handle a snake. These two larrikins create chaos during the SnakesLIVE show in the Crocoseum, but keep an eye out for them running amok all around the Zoo! You never know where they’ll be.
TEAM GORILLA
Bishki and Keepers
Have you had a lice check lately? Well, cancel the appointment and head to Australia Zoo for your complimentary check from Bishki, the cheeky gorilla. Bishki is a very naughty boy who loves nothing more than causing mayhem and madness wherever he goes. Bishki is always trailed by his manic zoo keepers, who never seem to know the best way to handle him. If you’re lucky enough to spot Team Gorilla during your next visit, sit back and watch the hilarity unfold.
Australia Zoo is world-famous for the diversity of its animals. From big cats and crocodiles to otters and skinks, we’ve got an unreal menagerie that has to be seen to be believed! However, one of our newest animals is quite shy until approached, so be sure to get up nice and close. Just what kind of animal is this bashful little beauty? You’ll have to visit Australia Zoo to find out.
Here’s a hint – it’s been hand-raised.
We haven’t overlooked the little tackers – in fact, we’ve got a whole team of characters wandering about especially for kids (although we’ve seen plenty of grown-ups asking BW Croc for a cuddle, too… Don’t worry, we’re not mentioning names). Australia Zoo is stacks of fun for little ones, especially with these drop-dead gorgeous characters wandering around!
Big Steve
He’s larger than life! He’s big for his boots! He’s one giant dude, and he’s looking for you! Big Stevo may have trouble getting through doors, but that won’t stop him getting out and about in the Zoo. When he’s not wrangling crocodiles, Stevo loves nothing more than getting hugs and smiles from our guests. You won’t want to miss getting a photo with this bloke!
BW Croc
BW Croc is the friendliest crocodile at Australia Zoo and, unlike Agro or Graham, she’s 100% huggable! BW has a heart as big as her feet, and she just loves entertaining and getting cuddles from kids. BW is the guest judge of the Crike-Off competition in the Animal Planet Crocoseum and loves to shake her groove thang to the music in between the animal shows!
Marben the Pirate
Arrr, me hearties! Keep one eye out for Marben the Pirate. He’s a salty old sea dog from way back, and he has a thirst for silver and gold – so hide those rings before you shake his hand! As an animal lover and personal friend of the Irwin family, Marben has a special place at Australia Zoo. He’s always keen to have some fun!
Bishki the Gorilla
Holy smokes, our very first gorilla is here now at Australia Zoo! He’s not your average primate, though… Watch out for his naughty antics as he takes the Zoo by storm, making pint-sized mates wherever he goes! Bishki is every little mischief-maker’s best friend, so make sure you give him a cheeky grin when you see him.
Children's Games
The boys from Entertainment are really just big kids, so it makes sense that one of their favourite things to do at the Zoo is to play games. Good old Snakes and Ladders gets a makeover when the boys play Snakes and Crocodiles… and who could resist the thrill of the chase in Duck, Duck, Crocodile? Red Rover, Red Rover is always a blast, and Steve Says seems to go down a treat. If you’re the lucky winner you may receive a Crocodile Hunter prize. But don’t despair if you lose – the consolation prize is an autographed picture of Jeremy, Adam and Ben! (Not so popular.)
Crikey, these blokes are giving away prizes left, right and centre! You never know when the Entertainment crew is going to jump out of nowhere and ask you to act like a monkey, so you’d best be on your guard and ready to indulge in a little silliness if you want to win some cool Crocodile Hunter gear. As if it’s not cool enough to be able to cuddle a koala or a python – you could get to do it for free! What a little ripper!
