Crocosaurus Cove

With two boys on our hands with sunburnt arms it was wise to find an indoor activity for the day.  We'd already been eyeing up the crocodile zoo 3 doors down from the hostel and the boys were keen to make today the day we paid them a visit.

BigC was immediately taken by the barrimundi.  These are HUGE fish.  We actually ate barrimundi on our camping trip last week. During the fish talk we discovered that some of the fish here are venous.  I have given up being surprised when u hear these things.  I would like to request a list of the THINGS THAT ARE NOT VENEMOUS. I feel like this will be a nice short, easy to read list.

 The major attraction here are the crocs. They have large and small (ish) crocs and we got to see them all.

Here is a quick video of one of the big crocs getting fed and then of the boys "fishing for crocs" where they got to feed the smaller crocs.  They loved it!

 This guy was especially playful.  He spent quite a bit of time being cheeky right by the window of the theater room.
 Below you can see that he was as interested in the python demonstration as we were.  So many things that want us dead, all in the same space. *shudder*
Monkey was feeling every bit as cheeky as the crocs was!!
Monkey took a second opportunity to feed the little guys and got rewarded with a great little jumper!  It takes a bit of time, but once he got him, he really lept. Monkey was THRILLED!
