The large sign out front caught my eye. Having seen some huge monsters in Aust largest 18ft+ I wanted to see how they could enclose a crock in that building. Have a close look at the large crock and you will see how it was done.

I thought the babies were cute and they were very easy to photograph.

cool pics. I would love to have a baby croc, but too bad they grow way,way,way to large. But just think how cool it would be to have a 200g tank with a 10" croc.

Amazing animals, Keith. They put our American crocs to shame.

Here is a 16ft one in the wild I photographed him in Kakdu Northern Territory Aust on one of my fishing trips. His back was covered in a green algea. It is not a tele photo shot I can assure I was very close in fact some days he was under our 12ft tinnie ( a small fishing boat. There was one in the area I could not span his foot prints over 5ft appart

i saw a 24 ft alligator visiting relatives in north carolina one time, but i don't have a pic of it. the only reason i know how long it was is because the wildlife service had a tag on it and were monitoring it pretty closely

I've seen an American croc that was 22' long, but it was being protected and tagged as well. Actually, I think all of our crocs are protected because they're endangered...

To make it real funny on the way back after a big day Barra fishing from up river, we passed a large tourist boat doing the general tourist thing. The guide on the boat yelled out had we seen any crocks on our reply of a big YES all of a sudden cameras were pointed at us.

Actually within 200mt of the boat ramp was a resident FM who use to swim out every time we went passed her area then go back when had passed.

I have developed a policy when in their area keep a good lookout always you can never be over cautious they have even been seen 100s of Klm off shore in the ocean.
