Henry, a 5-metre-long, 500kg croc, arrived at the centre in 1985 as a mature 85-year-old and has enjoyed a life of leisure, fathering more than 10 000 offspring with his six female co-habitants.
For this year’s party, Food Lovers sponsored tasty treats for Henry, and visitors enjoyed a slice of cake in celebration of Henry’s birthday.
