[Mardy]

I hang out in the carpet forum mostly.
But thaught I could add a picture for you croc fans.
I took this at the Leticia Colombia Zoo
I also got to hold some 8-10 inch ones and use
them to call a female accross her pen/pond. it
was very cool.

Hope you like,
Mardy

Nice. How big were the two creatures in the picture?

[Mardy]

Those two are about 3 feet. I got to hold some 12inch ones and use them to call a huge 8-10 foot female. It was very coool.

They are in a lot of trouble. The vastness of the amazon is the only thing helping them at the momment.
I could have bought the babies for $2-3 dollars.
The people down there are so poor that all is for sale
it does not matter how endangered. You could buy
Jaguar/Ocelot pelts in the airport???that pissed me off.
I could rant all day.....
