Crocs everywhere! We were actually surprised,when we arrived at Hartley's Crocodile Adventures, at the amazing number of crocs they had! These animals are seriously scary because they lie so still......looking like old logs......and then suddenly they move; it's even worse in the water because you just don't see them until those huge jaws come snapping out of the murky depths! I was having kittens as this keeper talked to us, while standing ankle and then knee deep in the water, with a rather large croc, commenting on how unpredictable they are! You should have seen him feed the crocodile a small sardine from his hand! (actually there is a video of this on youtube but I can't find the link!) We didn't feel we could subject you to any more videos of crocs, since we have already put Eric on our blog.)
This strange looking creature is a cassowary in case you didn't know already. Far more interesting than an emu . If he hadn't fallen off a roof Rod Hull would probably still have a career if he'd chosen to stick his hand up one of these, so to speak.
I have video footage of this too! Feeding the crocs from the boat...they jumped really high from the water to get the food!
And these freshwater crocodiles are slightly different to the 'Salty'....note the narrow snout.

Isn't it good to see responsible parents: children putting their heads into a crocodile's mouth.
