Here I've climbed into the crocodile enclosure and am playing with a 3-foot White Caiman. This was not discouraged. Imagine trying to do this in America. "Encouraged by my success, I pull a larger, 5-foot caiman from the tank by his tail. A few seconds after this photo was taken, he twisted free of my grip and laid my finger open to the bone with his teeth. Now I have a scar to rival the chisel-scars of some of you carvers." You were DEFinitely not in the USA! Can you imagine? Anyone stupid enough (sorry, Sabu!)to climb in the enclosure and get bitten would then sue the zoo, win a million dollars, and lead to the closing of said zoo!! Hip hip hooray for the right to get your own damn finger near-bitten off if you damn well please!! (I LOVE the fotos, Sabu!!! I feel like I took a mini-vacation - with The Crocodile Hunter! Thanks for sharing them with us.)
