My Worst Nightmare

My Worst Nightmare

How terrifying is this?! I had no idea jumping crocs were even a thing until I went to Darwin and saw all the ads for cruises on the Adelaide River (about 1.5hrs drive from Darwin). Essentially, tour boats go out on the Adelaide River, which has around 7,000 crocs living in its 150kms, and hang pork chops on fishing lines to get crocs to jump for them -- and man do they fly for creatures as large as they are! While it was good to see the crocs in a relatively controlled environment -- since I'm terrified of coming across one in the wild -- I'd have to do more research on the effects of these cruises before I went on one again, since it seemed to be very against the usual adage of "don't feed the wild animals."
