What do I do every day, a photographer at Darwin crocodile park?

 01 Jun 2019

Are you scared?


This is what Kate, from the central crocodile theme park in Darwin, northern Australia, jumps to eat.

Whenever a friend asks me where I am in Australia, I say Darwin, most people don`t know this place, everyone`s impression of Australia is in Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast. Let`s take a look at the situation in the Northern Territory.


Northern Territory (Northern Territory)

A territory directly under the federal government of Australia, one of Australia`s two inland territories, north-central of mainland, Australia. The capital is Darwin. Australia`s Northern Territory is sparsely populated, accounting for about 20 per cent of Australia`s total area, with a population of just over 230000 (2012). The northern Alafra Sea is low and flat, the northeast is the Buckley Plateau, the central and western regions are plain grasslands, the south is mountainous and desert areas, and the southwest is a dry salt lake. About 4/5 of the northern territory is located in the tropics, crossing two obvious climatic zones and generally high temperatures. The Northern Territory is the birthplace of ancient indigenous culture, and Anamdi in the north is reserved for indigenous peoples.


I`m here to introduce myself.

I am a photographer at (Crocosaurus Cove), a crocodile theme park. I take pictures of death cages outside every day in the sun and rain, and, of course, when I hold crocodile baby under the air conditioner.

Many people come to Darwin, Australia, to search for key points, most of which show pictures and profiles of crocodiles and death cages.


Why are crocodiles so famous in Darwin?

The reason I chose to come to Darwin was to see the seaside and aspire to be an islander. Ha, just arrived in Darwin to see the blue coastline, always feel what is missing. Always looking for bright arm muscle handsome guy, proud blonde blue eye beauty figure.

Until one day she was on the beach watching the sunset on the beach, a lady stood behind her partner and whispered that there were crocodiles over there.

WHAT!? 

When I heard it, I was completely shocked by the shortage of knowledge. When I was a child, I learned geography to watch the animal world on TV. All crocodiles will only appear in dense rivers in the jungle, and there will also be crocodiles in the sea.

When I do this job, I get in touch and learn more about salt-water crocodiles every day under his colleagues` science.

Crocodiles chase reptiles that existed in the dinosaur era, and they can live to the age of 80, 120. Saltwater crocodiles do not stop growing until death, and saltwater crocodiles can grow up to 3 meters. The longest saltwater crocodile in the world is in the Australian Zoo in Queensland, Australia, and the crocodile house where it works has the world`s second longest crocodile, Wendell..

Small crocodiles like to live in groups, wild life is not easy, easy to be eaten by other animals; When they are big enough, they like to go alone. If they see crocodiles in the wild, most of them are fighting to kill each other. Even if the crocodile is bitten off, its body system automatically stops the blood vessel bleeding where it was bitten. Wendell, the crocodile in the museum, lost one hand and was bitten off by other crocodiles for food in the wild.

There are pictures below, oh, pay attention to the observation will be found oh.

If you remember to run when you see crocodiles on outdoor land, don`t swim easily in Darwin. From time to time, you`ll see news or videos of crocodiles wandering there by the sea. Its swimming speed is unbeatable. Encounter crocodiles in the sea, survival is very low, want to struggle to escape, but also stimulate crocodile nature, they have the ultimate death rotation. When they bite their prey and they find that it is not readily available, they rotate the death.

. Crocodile couple William & Kate


Adult crocodiles are extremely unfriendly to female crocodiles. If they are put together, the male crocodiles will eat the female crocodiles. Only during estrus, male crocodiles who want to mate will send out the smell of courting to female crocodiles.

There is a famous crocodile couple William & Kate, in crocodile park named after British Prince William & Princess Kate. It is reasonable that adult crocodiles and female crocodiles find it difficult to live together, but they love each other. William was found on Darwin Mindy Beach because it was so big that it was dangerous to the public, so it was caught and sent to crocodile farms. It has an independent captive place on the crocodile farm, but it always slips to the Kate captivity in the middle of the night. It is said that this happens all the time, and the people on the farm are really unable to separate them. Just send the two of them to the crocodile house together. The jungle of nature, by nature, can`t live together for so many years. They`ve been living together in crocodile houses for more than 10 years. That`s love.

Every day to work, see them always lean together, really love! , William (is about 50 years old, while Kate is about 60 years old. It is hard to imagine that they are 10 years apart and very different in size. The male is constantly growing to death, the mother will not be more than 3 meters large.

Every year May-June is the crocodile mating period, if just in this mating period to see mating is very lucky Oh, , I have not seen it anyway. They lay more than a dozen crocodile eggs every year. In early November last year, Matt Wright (star crocodile shepherd personally collected crocodile eggs, the scene held his breath every minute, Kate maternal frequent death rotation to prevent him from picking eggs, William climbed ashore to help. (as shown below)

Last year Kate laid 17 crocodile eggs, most of which were sent directly to crocodile farms for hatching, leaving only a small number of crocodile eggs for tourists to watch. When I heard that crocodile eggs were going to be taken away, I thought it was cruel. Why should I separate them? Who knows my colleagues told me that if crocodile eggs were not taken away, there would be no crocodile baby born. Because if the male crocodile does not eat the crocodile eggs in a month, the female crocodile will also eat the eggs. They can`t survive anyway, which is the best way to deal with it.

Many people know through South Korean program running man that even Hong Kong tvb TV is attracted. Hu Xinger, Hu Haixin and other stars have also been to the crocodile restaurant for interviews.

The death cage is the best way to get close to crocodiles simply and brutally. This can be made directly on the official website, or directly to the park front desk reservation. During the peak season, the death cage is almost full every day. It is recommended to make an appointment one or two days in advance to avoid misscheduling. After setting the time, you need to arrive at the crocodile house 30 minutes before the scheduled time, because you need to sign the life and death form to feel the death cage, reserve more time, or the staff can understand the different habits of each crocodile. To bring your own bathing towel, most people will save time and put their bathing suit in advance.

Kate swimming is such a exciting and tense event, the whole process is 15 minutes, the first 10 minutes, the staff will drop the cage to the horizontal line of the shoulder position, to ensure that you can stand and breathe normally, personal advice. If not in particular physical condition, try to keep your breath under the water and observe the crocodile. In the last five minutes, the staff will lift the cage to the lower belly of the calf, so that they can sit or lie down, and draw the food near the cage to attract the crocodile to swim in front of you, so that you can feel the powerful bite force of the crocodile. Every day contact with different guests, most of the girls are very afraid, have been afraid to move, dare not dive into the water. The death cage has a history of 10 years, and in the past 10 years, my boss and colleagues have told me that there have never been any accidents.

[化] matters need attention

The cage of death is not a fully enclosed glass cylinder, and there are several rectangular entrances to the normal person standing. When you are in the cage, remember not to stick your finger out, or the crocodile can`t bite it. This is an act that forbids sticking your fingers out, and of course there are people who have died and put their fingers out intentionally or unintentionally, which will bring the experience to an early end.

Don`t knock on glass in the cage. Crocodiles are not the same as dogs. Crocodiles are more patient animals. They like to catch their prey quickly and harshly. Of course, you spend a lot of money, and the staff will ensure the quality of the entire death cage and ensure that every guest has a pleasant experience.

Crocodiles are low-energy, patient, cold-blooded animals with small heads, but they are smart enough to understand basic passwords. Please don`t look forward to it. Crocodiles don`t swim around the cage energetic. Crocodiles in death cages are colder, and they don`t move most of the time. When you find them moving, you don`t react too quickly.

Small suggestions

The crocodile house will have special crocodile introductions and crocodile performances at 11: 30 a.m. and 14:30. It doesn`t matter if you miss one of them, because both performances are the same, maybe the crocodile you feed is different.

The crocodile restaurant is small and takes about two hours to watch. Different animals are displayed at different times of the day. You can browse the official website for details. It is very suitable for a family size to visit the garden.

If you want to get a good photo, you can hire a professional photographer from the crocodile restaurant to shoot and video for you. If you don`t have a lot of budget, you can ask your friends to help each other take pictures.

The best time for death cages is after 3: 00, because crocodiles are active animals at night and will be active in the afternoon.

There are special storage places and changing rooms in the crocodile house, and diving goggles are available free of charge in the death cage. Please bring your own bath towels, swimsuits and their replacement clothes. For a better experience, especially baby with glasses can bring their own divers with degrees. You can wear glasses in the cage, the last 5 minutes is not required to dive Oh, you can wear glasses to watch carefully.

Arrive at the crocodile house early, get close contact with crocodile baby before experiencing the death cage, and even take pictures with crocodile baby. Please take a photo with crocodile baby before you enter the cage, hair and makeup are in good condition. 7. The best diving in the death cage keeps your stomach down and your limbs on both sides of the glass. Keep in mind that if both are in the cage at the same time, please don`t put your hands in front of the other person`s face, or your face will be blocked by your hand.

Crocodile baby


If you don`t have a chance or time to experience the death cage, try hugging the crocodile baby.

Crocodile bite force is very strong, adult crocodile bite force can bite the bone at once. What about the 1-year-old crocodile baby bite force? If they bite correctly, their little crocodiles can easily bite off their fingers.

Why do those people still hold crocodile baby?

Because the crocodile baby`s mouth is sealed with transparent glue.


Won`t the crocodile baby force open his mouth and bite?

No, no! Most of the time they know they`re sealed, they don`t try to open their mouths, but they fall you with their tails or heads to get rid of your control. Even if you are not bitten, it hurts to be whipped by your tail!


Isn`t it cruel to hold crocodile baby like this?

This question is very pertinent, most people are very interested in feeling how crocodiles feel, how it feels to hold crocodiles. There are more than 40 little crocodiles in the crocodile house. There are two different crocodiles baby reincarnation every day. They are caught in the studio before going to work and put back in the crocodile baby captivity before work. Plus adult crocodiles are untouchable, holding crocodile baby won`t kill you.


So the crocodile baby won`t be hungry?

Crocodiles don`t actually eat three meals a day like humans.

It`s enough for crocodile baby to eat once a day, and adult crocodiles can even eat once a day, enough to survive for a week.


What does the crocodile feel like? What does that taste like?

Crocodiles feel comfortable, like leather bags.

After touching, you can know why big-name bags like to use crocodile leather as bags.

I haven`t eaten crocodile meat. I`ve heard most of the guests say it tastes like chicken.

How can I tell if the crocodile is male or female?

Little crocodiles are difficult to tell unless they shove their fingers into their genitals.

In the wild, those who see saltwater crocodiles more than 3 meters are male, and the female ones will not exceed 3 meters.

Because the female crocodile needs to hatch the egg, too heavy too will crush the crocodile egg.


Where is the defecation place of the crocodile?

Between the crocodile`s hind legs.

Crocodiles are excreted in the same place.

If you have a chance to see crocodiles shit, this is very lucky and spectacular.


How much is the ticket to the crocodile theme park? How much is it to experience the cage of death?

More details can be found on the official website at http://croccove.rezdy.com

In particular, I would like to thank every colleague boss at (Crocosaurus Cove) crocodile theme park for taking good care of me. Thank you for every guest I met. Thank you for this opportunity to add special experience to my life.

I hope I can meet you at the crocodile house!

Most of the photo is filmed by me, and some of the photo comes from colleagues.
