Santa has treats for everyone during the festive season, including the residents of the Australian Reptile Park in Somersby on the Central Coast in New South Wales.
Video shows the jolly fellow delivering the goods to the park's kangaroos, koalas and croccodiles.
The zoo posted the images online with a hearty “HO HO HO!"
“Although he may have to make his way around the world Christmas Eve, Santa has been spotted at the Australian Reptile Park, dropping in early to get some cuddles with the animals and surprise them with special treats!,” the park said.
“Parking his sleigh outside the park, he made his way inside with his sack full of goodies for all the animals at the Central Coast wildlife park.
“Whether it was the friendly mob of kangaroos to Anna the koala — the animals were all incredibly happy to receive their special gifts! Most notably, Santa was brave enough to take on 'Elvis.' the 5-meter [16.4-foot] crocodile as he jumped into his enclosure to feed him a Christmas lunch!”
Video shows Elvis snapping its jaws at Santa as he teases the croc with food on the end of a pole.
Santa is quoted as saying: “I love Australian animals so much! Australia has all sorts of different and dangerous wildlife, I would have spent all day there, but I have so much left I need to finish before Christmas!”
