La Planète des Crocodiles

Crocodile albinos



As promised, after the post on The Snake Island, it’s the turn of the Planet of crocodiles.

I already saw lizards, snakes, tortoises, and I was only missing crocodiles to complete my knowledge of reptiles. I had an occasion to admire some crocodiles, at the Zoo of Beauval for example, but it was just a quick glance. The Planet of crocodiles is about 200 crocodiles of different types and colors coming from the 5 continents, tortoises, lizards and a tropical greenhouse with a magnificent botanic collection, and in addition, the architecture creates an extraordinary atmosphere that gives the impression of being somewhere in Africa!

The 3 most interesting things I discovered about the crocodiles:

1. A crocodile does not eat much, only one kilo per week (my dog eats more).
2. Crocodiles have the strongest bite, the force is about 2 tons per square centimeters (the force of a shark is 300 kg/cm², the force necessary to break the bone of human arm is 150 kg/cm²). Fortunately, it’s much more difficult for a crocodile to open his mouth and one stripe of an adhesive tape is enough to make him harmless.
3. The saltwater crocodile is the biggest, the strongest, and therefore, the most dangerous.

So yes, as say the slogan of the Planet of crocodiles: “An unforgettable face-to-face”!
