Crocodile rock


April 12, Thursday

THE CROCODILE FARM.  Yes, you read it correctly.  John, me, Cassie, and Justin. The pictures prove it.  This is a business, a lucrative business.  Besides the daily tours, the crocodiles are harvested for their ‘meat’ and their skin. You’ve seen those soft leather shoes and handbags.

Not difficult to see why these animals are at the top of the food chain.  Ugly and vicious.  No predators.  I held a crocodile which was hatched 11 hours before.  Usually a tour will get to see them hatching, but these little guys were anxious. You see the roll of crocodile hide in my hands.  Hard as a rock.  The second crocodile we’re holding is 3 years old.  Some have lived on this farm until 60 – 100 years.

Cassie had crocodile steak for lunch.  Not me.  Might eat me up from the inside out.  Don’t trust them, even the dead ones.
