Description

G'day All! Here we have a close up of this croc. I was hanging over the fence & had my camera hanging down in between the bars of the other fence so I could get close to this croc. He is around 5 metres (15 feet) in length & I can tell you he is massive in real life. These guys grow much bigger up in Northern Australia. This guy took 4 farmers dogs up there so they caught him, took him to a croc farm but he attacked 3 female crocs so they tagged him as a rogue croc & he was brought down to Featherdale Wildlife Farm near where I live. Well hope you enjoy the view of this guys skin & even where he lost a tooth & he has another one growing back to fit the groove that the other one left. If you look close into his eye you can see a bit of my outline in it :) Thanks for viewing & your comments mean a lot to me, thank you! Take care Shane

He looks like quite a crusty critter. I wouldn't want to meet him in a swamp or anywhere else for that matter. :os Excellent capture. Bunny

Excellent close up of this guy. He does sound a bit wild even for a crocodile. :)

Mercy sakes, how close WERE you to that thing?! LOL! Closer than I'd ever get, I'll warrant! Brave bloke that you are, you got a terrific shot of this guy, and seeing him like this, with all that glorious detail, is a real treasure of a photo! BRAVO!
