More Nile Croc's caught in the glades.

[Batch]

Rick, sharpen up that pencil. We got another critter for the list.

I believe I posted on here about the Nile they pulled out of a canal back in 2014. That was Nile croc number 2.

They have pulled out other species of crocs from South Florida waters before. In '89 they pulled a Siamese croc from a Davie canal.

But, the niles seem to be popping up like the pythons and anacondas, tegus and monitor lizards did at first.

Okay, I can see, for example, getting a baby python not realizing what you were signing up for, and while I really can't understand thinking that setting it free would be a good idea, I get that it happens. But nile crocodiles....are people actually saying "hey, that little thing is going to grow to be a thousand pounds of irascible murder-log. Let's take it home!"?

[hunter63]

Sounds like a "My croc is badder than your croc....so that make me cool"?

[hayshaker]

great now we have snakes that look like telephone poles and crocs that can take down any animal in north america.

What do you mean WE Kemosabi ?

Some of us had snow this week and we aren't worried about Egyptian wildlife roaming the woods.

There was another suburban bear spotted over in Ohio a day or so back, but no big man eating lizards or cow eating snakes.

[hayshaker]

at least bears with a little love and some treats you can get them to do tricks, heck be yer friend even, well mabey.
and worse come to worse you can get meat for the freezer, arug for the floor and a couple knife handles out of the jaws,

The older crocs need to be careful. They could throw a hip.

That rips it. I'm adding Georgia and Alabama to the list just for a kill zone. I think the state of Florida should hire Crash to wipe out everything and start over.

I just don't travel south of Orlando much anymore...

Neat and cool, variety is the spice of life. Now, we only need to add a few saltwater crocodiles from Papua New Guinea and northern Australia to the mix - a few people every year are reported taken by crocodiles in the Pacific region, and the Philippines has reports of 20 footers being captured because they were a threat to local people in Mindanao.

Now that "foodies" and recipes from cooking shows are the latest trend, we can develop a new USA cuisine. I have eaten crocodile from the restaurant menu at Madang (Papua New Guinea) - it had a slightly fishy taste but was palatable. Bon appetit

Two people were bitten by a crocodile in south Florida in 2014 - near Coral Gables

I want to see the gator boys grab a nile and put it in the back of their truck to "save".

LOL. Somebody might lose a limb.

You can get croc on the menu in quite a few restaurants in Florida. Not so much in the Orlando area, weirdly enough, at least that I could find, but 40 or so miles northwest I saw it quite often.
I kinda liked the taste of it.

[WalkingTree]

What's croc meat like? Can it be put into words?

[crashdive123]

Tastes like.........wait for it........chicken.

Gators and crocs are more closely related to birds than lizards and will bond with a person in the same way a parrot does. Like all predators, man has built bonds. Like all relationships, sometimes a partner turns on a partner.

But, look at this bond...

crash...chicken. ok.

What would man do without being able to understand and bond with animals...
