A few days ago, we went to a croc farm. (A croc farm is a place where they grow and keep crocodiles.) There was a bumpy road we had to ride on to get there. We looked at some snakes while we were waiting for the tour. Then we swam in the rain for an hour. At lunchtime, I ate a croc burger. After that, we went on the tour of the croc farm and saw big fat crocs. (Andrew)
A crocodile is...
A crocodile is...
...a very big, very fast animal, who has a mixture of green, gray, orange, and yellow on its scales. Its body is long, round, pointy and very bumpy. They can grow up to six feet long. They eat meat. They are very good swimmers and very strong, but not friendly. Crocodiles are interesting animals not to be played with. (Benjamin)
The weaver birds at the farm fascinated me. Dozens of flashes of yellow caught and held my attention. The ones shown here built their nests in bushes hanging right above the crocs' heads--can't imagine wanting to raise my babies there. I then discovered weaver birds right outside our front door when we returned home. (Beth)
Cool pictures! how did you get that croc picture? (Will)
ReplyDeleteWe were standing right next to the crocs on the other side of a chain-linked fence. If we had wanted to, which we didn't, we could have reached through the chain link and touched his tail.
DeleteCool!!!!!

I know a lot of birds build nests near alligators becaue the gators eat the predators of the birds . . . - though I think that if a baby bird took a tumble it would be a bad ending.
ReplyDeleteI agree Benjamin's assessment of crocs and I think a croc burger would be tasty - I like gator nuggets!
It was pretty tasty. I, Beth, tasted one bite because Drew handed it to me. I didn't want to be outdone by my son. I didn't know that birds build nests in places like this to avoid predators--makes sense to me--I guess.
DeleteI appreciate Benjamin's warning that a crocodile is NOT to be played with. I'll remember that.
ReplyDeleteThank you for not only your perspective, but the boys' also. It's so fun to hear from all of you!
Peace, Friends. You're missed.
We miss you too! Thanks for keeping up with us!
DeleteI agree with the above comment. The boys' perspective added to yours and Andy's is rich! 600 square feet. I am still pondering that.
