Crocodiles Creep Me Out...














...So why am I going to a place famous for fostering these carnivorous, Captain Hook-eating reptiles (please see above picture)?

Just something to ponder...



p.s. Thank you, Bill Bryson, for pointing this out to me in your hilariously insightful In a Sunburned Country.

p.p.s. It has recently been brought to my attention that there is something called the "Crocodile Cage of Death" in Darwin, Australia. Brave tourists get dropped into a 9 foot long, 4 cm thick acrylic tank and are essentially dangled as bait for 15 whole minutes in front of a hungry 2,000 lb salt-water croc named "Choppa." I'm sorry. This does not sound fun to me. (Again, please see above picture).
