Crocodile Creek crocodile breeding farm pictures

The third day of our holiday it started raining, so we decided to see the sights.

We visited crocodile creek first.

At crocodile creek there are 5 different species if crocodiles / alligators, unfortunately we didnt get pictures of all of these, but I will post the pictures that we have.

Our guide was very friendly and quite knowlegable on all the 9000 crocodiles on the farm.

We started out with a 20 minute talk on the crocks, and their behavior, food, etc...

After that we toured the farm, and saw many of the crocodiles kept there.

Most of the crocodiles on the farm are earmarket to be culled for their meat, scull and skin. to be made into leather products.

Below are some pictures of the crocodiles.

Below I am holding a two year old nile crocodile.

An intertsting fact of the crocodile is that it's jaw muscles are only built for biting, and as you can see below, its jaw can be held closed with an elastic rubber.







This is the scull of a 6 meter long male crocodile that died about a year ago.

Another male got into its enclosure, and attacked it.

In the scuffle the 6m crock lost part of its lower jaw.





We where also lucky enough to see some one day old crocodiles.

Although they are only one day old, they can already give you a nasty nip, if you are not careful.







And then it was on to the big boys!!





This was quite an experience, and well worth the visit.
