chicken

These guys at the crocodile park are anything but chicken... and these crocks are anything but tame so it is actually quite impressive to watch these young guys risk life and limb playing with these ancient creatures. These boys put their heads in the crock's mouths and do other crazy amazing things with these frightening creatures. When the show is finished the audience are encouraged to throw money. And, as if they are worried someone watching the show might leap down and steal their money, they put the money inside the crocodiles mouth for safe keeping...!

The main diet of these crocks is actually chicken, which I thought was ironic because when I tried a bowl of the crocodile soup, being sold at the concession, I realized that crocodile does taste like chicken....so I think if these regal reptiles ever figure out that their pals taste like chicken there would be a few less crocks around to entertain us tourists.

  1. Are you serious about crocodile tasting like chicken... probably more like fishy chicken? (Like beaver tasting like fishy game meat). What about the texture?
