Never Smile at a Crocodile.

The Reptile Park.


This incredible Giant Tortoise was great to watch....the speed, yes the speed in which it devoured a carrot .....



The chap doing all the special talks and demonstrations was brilliant! He was funny, sarcastic, informative and rude (which Alex loved!) He generally kissed all his creatures and even licked a Cane Toad, then suddenly remembered it had just been to toilet on his hand...so it tasted gross!
It is worth knowing the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.....basically you've had it if you meet a croc.....so it's true...never smile at one because they are much more aggressive and they will chase you and eat you! Even the baby ones are born snappy!!



Alligators on the other hand are much more laid back....and will only eat you if you are easy!!



A Tazmanian Devil's bottom is the best shot I could get of this strange, unsociable creature. You shouls have heard the noises it made...it really did sound like the cartoon character, Taz. He kissed this too, even though she was really grumpy!



The dilemma was whether to try a Meal-worm or not...lots of the audience tried one and said it tasted like....guess what?...chicken! It freaked Jessica out just holding it...so Daddy ate it for special effect...but he didn't chew it so now he is worried about it growing in his tummy!
