Warm and bumpy! Warm from the sun, of course, they’re cold-blooded creatures…

And the tape round that little reptilian snout – not to be held without it, I guess. Hats off to you, Johna.

I believe that in Australia (where this was) all crocodiles to be handled by the public are now required to have their snouts taped… there were probably a few unfortunate incidents…

It’s probably a lot of fun trying to tape up the snout of one of the 15-footers! ;-)

She was disappointed they wouldn’t let us take one of the little ones home…

A little tape goes a long way! They are so wild. We are food.

It’s the natural order of things: eat or be eaten. And the crocodileburger I had at the cafe there was very tasty… :-)
