Can an observer become a participant? :D

Sadly I suspect that’s against the rules after the last time.

I think the person on the right might be a participant soon, if he jumps off the platform. He does seem eager to.

Your croc is looking real good in this one. Love it!

He always looks good, but I can agree, he's especially good-looking here!

I love the half-submerged pose in this one, so you can only see his muscular arm and breasts of his body.

I agree! It just makes him look all the better.

better hope for their sake the glass is strong enough ><

Also does this place happens to have a place where you can watch below the water's surface. *looks down the croc's chest* no reason, just curious.

Oh their glass won't be enough to save them should he decide.

But thankfully he likes the offerings they bring, so it's a good thing for him to keep it going.

These Aussie Tour boat Croc feedings remind me a bit of an historical account in which the same sort of Salt Water Crocs were "trained" to come to the old Spanish Fort at Columbo (in what is now Sri Lanka), when the soldiers would whistle, because they knew they would be fed a Native prisoner. every time they heard the whistle.

An Australian reptile exhibit also features an attraction, where you can "swim" next to their huge Salt Water croc in the safety of a thick, clear acrylic plastic tube. I think I saw this on YouTube.

Colombo is still the capital of Sri Lanka today! I would love to visit actually, it’s a beautiful country. That is an interesting story, reminds me of Pavlov’s dogs.

And you’re quite right on the second matter. :}

Yes, I actually read about the Spanish crocodile feedings in a history book I bought in Coumbo and read on a train on my way to my hotel in a more remote area I was going to. I loved the country and had many wildlife 'adventures' there including the temporary 'capture' (and release) of a huge (over two meter) water monitor, and at the very southern tip of the country, even a 'close encounter' with a large "Saltie". There was neat little zoo on the coast with lions and tigers that were never kept in cages but on leashes where you could touch them, and I saw a little girl carrying a meter long Saltie like the doll and its mouth wasn't even taped!

Speaking of crocodiles though, one of my favorite pets was a Nile Crocodile I 'rescued'./purchased as a hatchling from a goldfish bowl in Aswan, Egypt curio shop and raised in Germany for 10 years when I was stationed there with the American Army. I named him Sobek (of course!), and with such daily human contact, was incredibly tame, and could be picked up petted with no danger. It was quite an international story when German police raided my apartment and took it away (as it wasn't officially registered there), and now he is living in a special Crocodile Attraction at a natural hot springs in France where the water is warm enough that they can live outside there all year long. In my apartment in Frankfurt he had the complete run of the house, and sometimes caught pigeons on the balcony as I discovered when I came home and discovered lots of pigeon feathers floating on his indoor pond set up!

Heck!, Love this one!
huge!

But also very hungry!
