Croc's

I've been out an about again. I wanted to be a tourist this month, so I have been out to do the touristy things. And when you visit Darwin it's all about the croc's.... yes I did it, I went to a crocodile park. It was better than I thought it was going to be, but man was it smelly...

This brave bird...

But I guess when you live with 500+ other crocs in one pen.... you get smelly.

This is a small pen but most pens have 500+ croc's. It was pen after pen after pen. This is more than a tourist attraction, it a breeding farm for shoes, hand bags and wallets.

Did you know? that it is only the belly of the croc that is used for bags and such. They also sell the meat in various ways... you don't want to know what happens with the rest....

The above photo is the jumping croc's pen, they feed these croc's twice a day.

Not much to protect tme from this 5m croc....

That's better.

This one jumped so quick I almost missed the shot.

These are the breeding croc's, all they do is eat sleep and root..... sorry kids.... but that is all they are there for. The pen the live in is smaller than my lounge room, and I have a pretty small flat...

It's not just croc's either. I think this poor little fella might be lost he was in a pen with some salties.

These are Hawksbill Turtles.

The not so cute - Rhinoeros Iguana.

This little turtle was so cute. He was in a fish tank with two small croc and he was frantic like he wanted to get out...

What they look like after they are turned into bags.....

You know they say never smile at a crocodile.....

But he sure can smile at you....
