Brucs is going to take over IotD soon, I hear. Anyway, these youngsters are saltwater crocs, one week old, at the Taronga Zoo. They were amongst the Yahoo Most Popular for a while, because of their obvious appeal.

These youngsters are harvested to make this product:

crocs ain't gators, and gators aint crocs

Damn, yer right - gotta change the title

plus those are gator clips, not croc clips <g>

Well, I think the picture is cool. I wouldn't say the baby crocs are cute, but they are neat to look at. I especially like how they all are just sitting around with their mouths agap, just waiting to chomp on something. Little bastards. :)

Take out the little arms, and it would look like the guy is holding a baby hydra.

Great!!!
One more thing to contribute to my already over abundant nightmares!!! :worried:

Thanks Cellar. ;)

Saltwater Crocs get to about 16 ft give or take a little. That's bigger than fresh water croc isn't it? :confused:

Waiting for the Croc of ....., joke.

Never had a stuffed baby Gator when a kid?

Roach Clips
Great image. I am amazed at how small they are. Even now they look like they could tear your finger off.
I remember as a child, you could buy baby alligators at K-Mart. Horned toads, too. Imagine that. I understand that an alligator is relatively docile compared to the salt water croc. Glad they didn't sell us kids crocs........
* Second thought: the baby gators they sold us were probably the sole explanation to the success of another novelty in that era. The "Sixfinger".. :joint:

Like so!

Wow, you're good!!

The only part that sticks out for me is the amputated piece of leg hiding in the shadow under the jaw of the one on the bottom right. But I don't know a damn thing about Photoshop so I don't know if that's insanely hard to fix or you just forgot about it. :)

I think they are cute, cute, cute! I went to a swampy place down around NOLA and got to hold one of those fresh-water alligators. It was soooo cute and had a great smile. Looked very friendly and companionable. Of course, it was a baby. Cute creatures until they try to eat you. I fear most large bodies of water--salt or fresh. Monsters lurk in them all.

I just missed it. It was a quick and dirty job.
