Great visit to the
crocodile farm where they keep thousands of
crocodiles from the baby ones that they breed for those
gucci handbags to the giant ones that have been rescued as they have started to become a nuisance to the locals. We were more than happy to stay behind the fences while we watched these monsters feed. The jaws have a biting force of two tonnes, the largest of any animal. We saw the freshwater
crocs about 1-2m long, then we saw the salties! In the main pool (there were about 14 pools in all open to the public to view) they had ~120 saltwater
crocs between 3-4m. In the separate enclosures they had some special personalities: Errol a 4.5m
croc that kept eating any breeding partners they put in with him, snowy a 5m white
croc, the largest in the world. There was also a 5.5m giant that was the star of the
crocodile dundee movies. Although they looked pretty slow while sunning themselves it was very different when the food was thrown in. They can be extremely quick and agile and are truly awesome animals. Hearing about them was fascinating and the guide was extremely informative. Enjoyed some
crocodile leg and
crocodile burger to finish up.
