I think it'd be thrilling, but not that scary. Fun-scary, maybe.

We have some big gators around here but holy hell. That thing is huge. I bet if we had those our kids wouldn't be so careless water skiing past the ones on the river banks.

my reaction was similar. A cruel tease? or animal "enrichment"?

Oh no...don't even LOOK at the animals, it's cruel and unfair.

Hey mom, there's a cow!

LOOK AWAY! WE ARE NEVER TO LOOK AT THE ANIMALS.

sorry cloud, that just struck me in a funny way

I go with "enrichment" if they get to eat a small child every now and then.

I have that kind of sensitivity towards animals, cloud. I've been deep water scuba diving, and one of the training sessions I took was underwater naturalism (or some such title.) One of the things I remember was my instructor talking about natural environment, and how if you pick up a tiny little creature and move him a few feet, you have just separated him from what is natural to him. Maybe a few miles without GPS in human terms.

So, I hadn't thought about that angle, when thinking how neat it would be to see close up like that.

You're right...though we don't know if the animals are happier or sadder...it's not up to us to know, we should just let them be in their own damn environment. They shouldn't be fodder for us thrillseekers to brag about.

There are plenty of thrills in the ocean, in the sky...without disturbing any of it.

Sorry to wax badly poetic.

Thanks, cloud.

I don't know. The way that croc is clinging to the box it looks like he's trying to hump it.

I think there is a bit of camera-angle trickery going on there, but still, it is Biiiiiig. Big old bull salties can reach 6 metres and weigh over 1,500 kg, and aggressively defend their territory.
So if a big one establishes itself in a piece of river too close to human habitation, it gets trapped and relocated to a crocodile farm/tourist trap, where it lives out it's days as shown here. I wish they'd lower bikini chicks in glass cages into my living room.

They're safer with the croc.
