Later, watch the spectacle of pelicans soaring in to enjoy their meal, sit down and relax, as wild birds and animals enjoy the sanctuary of the park's billabong. Explore a representation of top end river system from the escarpment down to the mangroves on the coast, and immerse yourself in the underwater world of the aquarium tunnel. Catch a glimpse of the elusive nocturnal creatures of the top end, a group representing 80 per cent of the territory's wildlife. During a visit to the territory wildlife park, travellers can expect to view the spectacular free flight and natural behaviour of the northern territory's birds of prey. A visit to the park can easily be combined with a refreshing swim afterwards at the neighbouring berry springs nature park. Highlights of the park include an extensive aquarium with a walk through tunnel where you can stand nose to nose with a 3.7 metre saltwater crocodile, the daily birds of prey display, the nocturnal house and the monsoon forest walk. The park showcases the wildlife of the top end, which you can see up close and in their natural habitats. Finally, explore a monsoon rainforest, peek through the bird hide at goose lagoon and get up close to park creatures during the animal encounters and presentations.

Koongurukan people believe that the land obvious to them as Loki Koongurukan is the store or country of their beginning. They were born to the land as Koongurukan people. The land nurtures and provides for them as a mother would and the culture that the land provides is passed on through the language which is the voice of the land. The country or land is regarded as their mother and has claim over them as mothers do.
