Don’t play in a croc’s kitchen.
Lucky for the crocs they weren’t Chinese or they would have been hungry again in an hour.
Sometimes you just have to settle for what’s on the menu.
Be aware of the Florida Hybrid CrocaGator. It has Croc head on one end and a gator head on the other. they will eat any and everything they can get to.
The have no rear end which makes them meaner than H3ll!
My father was in New Guinea in WWII. He talked about a lot of things. Swimming in the rivers was evidently a common way to cool off. No mention of crocodilians. I suspect so many armed men made quick work of the population before he got there. They taste like chicken, don’t they?
You mean rediscover...
There is. Boat is the croc word for buffet table.
Reminds me of the photos of alligator gar on the White River in 1950s Arkansas. Hook them, pull them in and shoot them in the head with a .38.
And I remember tales of the drowned child. Divers went down to find the body and came up quickly when they found the body in the mouth of a HUGE catfish. They would not go down again.
You ever heard the call of the milermore bird in the swamps?
I hunted Southwest Texas and everything that grows there will make you bleed.
Rat-kangaroo. Snort!
I’m more afraid of the Sumatran Rat Monkey.
I never had it on a stick but I have had it otherwise. When I lived in Florida, I use to fish Bass tournaments all over the state and we had a restaurant that was approved to sell gator meat ( that was during the time they were on the endangered list ). It was good , nothing exceptional but tasty.
I don’t know about that. I bought them a bunch of Jet Skis.
Good crocs
I don't know. Maybe There's some FReepers who have had croc meat and could weigh in here.
Me too in south Mississippi as a boy....Matthews brake setting open water submerged duck blinds in summer
The Pearl waterskiing upriver from Jackson
Lake Bruin Louisiana where we had a lake house
Lots more gators now.....exponentially....we saw them rarely 40 years ago
I don’t purposely swim in gator territory without knowing pretty much where they hang
But even in Florida I swam the Myakka like nobody’s business
Tannic black yet clearish water
Lake Nellie....on the bank
Foolish today
I once had a big bull gator 14 foot or so on a red gravel road at night between Coy and Camden Alabama attack my pickup and tore my bumper and dented fender
He was on the move between ponds looking for some loving....and didn’t want to be teased by my trucks lights
They are awesome on land.....fast.
This would make a great one hour special on TV!
It would indeed.
Either on the History Channel, or on the “Unusual Foods” Channel.
Don’t think so but can image.
Enlighten me. Thanks.
It may be kin to the Keeriest bird that winters in Antarctica and summers in the Sahara. Their call in the summer is Keeriest-keeriestitscold. You can imagine it’s winter call, which changes. (Call spelling changed for respect)
Another is the OOhOOh bird. it eats only Tabasco peppers and is the only bird known to fly in reverse, always.
Their cry is their name.
