We decided to do a tour called "Jumping Crocodiles".
Checking out the reptiles before our boat trip to see the crocs...
It was recommended that you sit downstairs on the boat, right by the open window where they dangle the meat for the crocs. Under no circumstances are you allowed to put any part of the body outside the window...(Milli giving me her nicest and sweetest smile.)
A very dainty pose by the smallest female on the tour. The crocs are VERY close to the open window! We were splashed on a number of occasions.
A snap-happy crocodile!
This is Hannibal. Crocodiles tend to eat those crocs smaller than themselves. Hannibal is king of the river. When he cruises up to the boat, the others disappear fast! He is big. Over six metres in length.
Hannibal does not want to waste the effort of jumping out of the water to get this measly dish... so he tries to lull the operator into a false sense of security. He almost managed to snap the food off the hook just by raising his head a bit.
A pretty mean looking dude.
Now he is getting ready to jump. He straightens his tail and lowers it in the water...
The propels himself upwards.
Milli wasn't scared though!
