Croc Feedings

Check out how high this saltwater crocodile can jump. I think he may know that the people feeding him are amateurs.

Time for the professionals to do the feeding... This particular crocodile is the second largest in the world in captivity. He is remarkably bigger than many wild saltwater crocodiles, who are only 40 to 50 years old or younger due to over-hunting of the species. The population was thought to exceed 100,000 and numbers had dwindled to a few thousand. Today, they are flourishing and recovering due to environmental protection instituted in the 60's and 70's. This saltwater crocodile is in his 80's and will continue to grow as he lives, which can reach well into the 100's if conditions are right.
