Swimming With Crocodiles

just saw this - some place in Darwin Australia, where people pay to get in a croc cage and get up close with them
I can't say I agree with it... very unnatural for them to have their territory being repeatedly challenged by intruders all day long. must be irritating for them but anyway I did think it was crazy footage... those things are pretty scary. if there was no cage it would be lunch time for sure [ animals.nationalgeographic.com ] Earth’s largest living crocodilian—and, some say, the animal most likely to eat a human—is the saltwater or estuarine crocodile. Average-size males reach 17 feet (5 meters) and 1,000 pounds (450 kilograms), but specimens 23 feet (7 meters) long and weighing 2,200 pounds (1,000 kilograms) are not uncommon.
Classic opportunistic predators, they lurk patiently beneath the surface near the water's edge, waiting for potential prey to stop for a sip of water. They’ll feed on anything they can get their jaws on, including water buffalo, monkeys, wild boar, and even sharks. Without warning, they explode from the water with a thrash of their powerful tails, grasp their victim, and drag it back in, holding it under until the animal drowns. |
