The boys did a cruise along Trinity Inlet and a tour of Australia's largest crocodile farm. Mainly the crocs are farmed for their skins (they have contracts with companies like Louis Vuitton). They are fed chickens, and many of the crocs which are sold for meat end up on local restaurant plates, and as the classic saying goes "taste like chicken".This is a croc along the bank of the inlet in its natural habitat, a saltwater estuarine, not from the farm.
Its mouth is open because that is how they keep cool, by expelling hot air.
Neat picture. The black and white really enhances the effect. You can hardly see the guy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear he's just keeping cool. He looks like he's about to take a bite out of someone.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a heart-stopper to see when not expecting it. I like how the tail looks checkered.
ReplyDeleteYikes! They look pretty scary. I like how you took these in B&W. Adds to the drama!
ReplyDeleteThe open mouth also permits preventitive dental care visits by the relevant feathered friends.
ReplyDeletelol, norman!
