If you thought Dubai was done impressing you, you were wrong.

Dubai Municipality confirmed that 75 percent of the Crocodile Park has been completed so far. Construction on the $5.9 million project started last summer.

The park will include various crocodiles including Nile crocodiles, which live mainly in bodies of fresh water throughout Sub-Saharan Africa. The park also aims to be an environmental reserve for the aquatic reptiles, providing optimal transportation and nutrition conditions, as well as contributing to the preservation of the species in line with the CITES convention to protect endangered animals.

Last July, videos of sheep running down the middle of Doha's Salwa Road began circulating. We've also seen tigers on the run ... so let's just hope these crocodiles are content with their new home.
