Way cool!   I love those.   One of my favorite reptiles.  Wish we had them here.

(Well,  none of those , but  Florida's salt water crocodile and fresh water crocodile populatuion is now larger than it has ever been in history (or prehistory)   They filmed a 23 nfooter in the Everglades recently.


Maybe someone can import them as pets. They are probably still rare even in their native region.   They are freindly to humans.  (they6 eat fish)

oops ... it will not be possible. I forgot to mention that it must be at least 2 or 3 years that I bought. so I guess they must have more. sorry  :?

Yes indeed! I love the way he's just crawled out of the water  8)

Just goes to show how this sort of cheap Chinese plastic tat can often be vastly improved with a good paint job. He looks as good as any metal casting.

Excellent!

They had the same packs in the dollar store here just before Xmas.  I'll take a look and see if they still have any.

Wow.  I'll  do anything (and I mean "anything", but I hope it won't go THAT far) to get my hands on one.\
