He may be smiling sweetly
but he’s still sizing you up as prey
(still working on those Australia photos!)

Hope this was a close-up shot with a camera and not you standing so close. Real scary.

It certainly served them well for the first 199.99 million years—until they were almost hunted out of existence by humans. What saved them then was that they could be farmed for their skin to be made into handbags…

Terrific close up photographs! They remind of the children’s song,
“Never smile at a crocodile,
No you can’t get friendly with a crocodile.
Don’t be taken in by his welcome grin,
He’s imagining how well you’d fit within his skin”.

Perfect!!
Thank you, and thank you for following our blog! :-)

I bet he thinks you taste like chicken.

It works in reverse too: I had a crocodileburger for lunch one day, and it did taste like chicken (if a bit more crumbly) :-)

Wow. You are a super predator! Can you imagine having to hunt crocs to eat every day? Shudder of horror. Why do these thoughts occur to me?

I don’t think I would fancy my chances hunting a big crocodile, or even a medium-sized crocodile. Much better to have him served to me in a restaurant…

He probably won’t want to exert himself too much, but if you come close he won’t let the opportunity go to waste…
