Here is my own happy snap some time earlier when he was 111 years old. He still looks good for his age, no wonder when you don't have a worry in the world.
CrocWorld is clean and tidy, a wonderful place to visit, different species of crocodiles to learn about. Retiles, snakes and birds to view at a safe distance (stories for another day)
Facts about crocodiles to follow and then some more about crocodiles in the wild
Over the ages these animals have always intrigued many, known as reptiles now but apparently their prehistoric past was that of possibly birds. Imagination could run wild thinking of a bird swooping down on you with teeth such as this.
Good warnings about swimming in certain areas around our country are there for good reason, crocodiles still take the lives of humans. So when ever you visit an area you know it is good to heed warnings by the local folk.
Our visit to St Lucia where tragic events of lives being lost, do a search on your browser "Crocodile deaths in South Africa" read the news about how often this does happen.
Take a look at the following photo's of crocodiles in the wild and consider your chances in the water with one of them, St Lucia Estuary has many....
Hey hey hey inviting smile, come swim!
I estimated this guy to be about 2.5 meters long, they are healthy, fit and fast in the water, you really don't stand a chance.
African Proverb: Swim across the river before being rude to the crocodile.
