I was VERY happy to be on a croc-proof boat, Mallee – but I couldn’t help wondering how they KNEW it was croc-proof?? How does one test a boat for croc-proofness, anyway?!?!?!

Beautiful animals to watch swim (as long as you’re in the safety of a boat)

Crocodiles deserve respect AND fear, Iris!! With so much difficulty telling a live crocodile from an old tyre, maybe it’s just as well I was on a croc-proof boat!!

Saw one way too close in Kakadu NP – never again, ewww, that was not respect, that was fear on my side! I´d prefer an old tyre for sure 😉

I have to admire how a creature with no natural predators has survived the most destructive force of nature – colonisation – even while they scare me rigid, Tracey! And to think we used to turn them into shoes and handbags 😀

Agree, I have a lot of respect for the croc. Living dinosaurs unchanged for 100 million years or there abouts. Evolution was not necessary for this perfect survival machine.

There’s my problem. I don’t want to EAT the crocs – but just looking at them is probably just a little bit too dull for the Travel Channel!!! I’ll let you know ‘when’ I hear from them 😀

And this is why you should be on the Travel Channel. Check my latest post. I think I got their attention this time.

Feeling nervous around crocodiles is normal, Anne – or should be – because it means you’re paying them the respect they deserve! I’m awestruck by their ability to survive virtually unchanged in todays world without any real need to adapt. You’re right – they ARE amazing!

Red, thanks for sharing your visit to a crocodile infested area – they are certainly silent and deadly killers, and I always feel nervous when I am visiting a crocodile area. But they are also amazing to see!
