Never Simle at a Crocodile

While the the crocodile will never rise to the status of the elephants and monkeys they still get top ratings in my books. The crocks mostly just lay around pretending to be logs but we discovered if you want them to move around all you have to do is start climbing the fence... they don't move much ... just enough to make sure they can see what your up to.... and every beady yellow eye in the place suddenly brightens up a bit while they also look like their smiles might just be a little bigger...hoping you might be bringing lunch...and while I thought i might have seen a few crocodile tears when I did not go too far over the fence... I had no inclination to be Crocodile Dundee or Steve Irwin... but Crikey the people that work with these crocodiles are just as tough and twice as crazy... besides even as a kid being raised in the Yukon I was prepared for the moment I come across a large man eating reptile.... run away chanting 'see you later, alligator... or after a while crocodile"

  1. I could imagine you with your own adventure show on tv. Yukon Doug and the wild Marmots of Metchoisin.
