Crocodiles in Colorado

Crocodiles in Colorado? A unlikely mix you might think considering the harsh winters and snow capped Rockies... but there is a Alligator farm even over here! Their secret is a hot spring which is feeding several fish ponds which are producing enough dead fish for over four hundred crocodiles and alligators.

But they also have ostriches, donkeys, snakes, turtles and geese living side-by-side of each other. And it seems like everybody loves the crocodile dry-food you can buy in the little gift shop. So we had a great time pushing the group of geese closer to the group of crocodiles. Amazingly they seemed to know exactly how far they could go and no goose (or crocodile) was hurt in this experiment ;-)

Speaking about a great time... everybody in our party had a blast as well. Especially holding the crocodile was good fun for little Jasmina. She even got a certificate for bravery, signed by the crocodile himself!



But all good things have to come to an end somehow... so we tossed the last piece of crocodile food to some ants on the ground... who loved the food as well. It really seems like everybody on that farm loves that stuff! I wished I had tried it myself :o)
