That last pic reminds me of reading about a documentary about Great Whites, where the surfers and people are apparently right in the middle of them. I so want to get my hands on that.
And yes, Chris Fallows is very understandable after spending 20 years among them. You do learn a lot about animals. Obviously.
I had 60 Crocodiles at a stage. It was a tourist attraction. Schools visited us and I took the kids walking among them. They loved it when I fooled one of their teachers of course, pretending I am running away, with them taking after me screaming in most cases. However, I would never do any such stunts like on those Croc shows in Bangkok where they put the head inside the mouth and pretty much use them like toys. I believe once you start playing with them, only time can tell when your time has come. Ask Sigfrid and Roy or Steve Irwin.
But yes, leave them to their natural behaviour and understand it, and it's actually quite awesome what all you'll be able to do.
