[ Next Nyanja picture ] [ Back to Members' Photo Gallery ]

The crocodile was the hit of the display. The first picture was taken just seconds before she lunged at the display window and sent everyone jumping. One of her keepers tells us that she teases them by jumping up at them when they are tending the display from above. Why does she do this? Because she can, who's going to say no to a 10 foot croc?

Miss crododile is pretty large, about as long as a VW Jetta and as big around as a good sized tree trunk. Here she is hamming it up for the camera.

Eyeball to eyeball. Good thing there was a thick wall of glass in between!
