........this is a freshwater crocodile, probably about 8 feet in length, sunbathing along the Ord River yesterday afternoon. When our high speed sightseeing boat pulled up on the river bank and set up lunch on the picnic tables, I was a wee bit nervous! However, these crocs, unlike their saltwater cousins, are apparently shy around people, and cannot open their narrower jaws to eat them - they would break - so perhaps being a larger person is safer around these waters!

Hello Mary:
ReplyDeleteDespite what you say about these crocodiles inability to open their jaws wide enough to eat a human being, we are not certain that we should want to have our picnic in quite such close proximity!
Really great post, Thank you for sharing This knowledge.Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same level of content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up!
ReplyDeleteHe is quite a beautiful croc indeed, but so glad he cannot eat people. Continue your happy travels.
ReplyDeleteCor blimey, they're big no wonder you were nervous Mary.
ReplyDeleteHope the crossing is calm for you.

Oh Mary, I don't know. Those crocs would still worry me just a bit. Your trip sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful animal. I never knew that the freshwater crocodiles weren't dangerous.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a brilliant time.

What if that croc just wanted to come say hello? What if he doesn't know his mouth won't open wide enough. Ha! Sounds like an exciting journey. I get seasick really easy so boat rides are always difficult for me. Take care! Tammy
ReplyDeleteWhen are you coming home - I miss my coffee buddy! Hope Bob is watering your lovely new plant - where did you get it? I am looking for one like it....Call when you get back to your cottage! Jeannette
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are having yet another amazing holiday. Shivers down my spine at the thought of the crocodile. The sunsets are beautiful and love the camel ride along the beach. I look forward to the photographs when you return.
ReplyDeleteTake care and enjoy. Eileenx
