Arba Minch Crocodile Ranch (AMCR) is set to expand its hub to a zoo by adding more animals including python snakes and civets.
The ranch that has been in service for over three decade was damaged by flood about 15 years ago and has since then relocated 7km from Arba Minch town, 444 km south of Addis Ababa in SNNP.
Wondimu Abate, Office Coordinator of AMCR, said that the facility mainly formed for conservation of the reptile is undertaking a study by the support of Arba Minch University to improve its service.
He said that currently the ranch is providing touristic services; however it was exporting the Nile crocodile skin almost two decades ago and has since then halted that operation.
