I think that Crocodiles are on Mikey's 'eek' list.

More to the point, who would want to keep a crocodile as a pet, especially if there are kids around.

True. It isn't going to bond with a human, long chats in front of the TV or a cuddle. Same with spiders and snakes.

There are more Tigers kept in captivity in the US than are left in the wild. It is dangerous enough living with two moggies, I would hate to live with a tiger when it gets stroppy.

I'm off back to see if I can sleep. I was sleeping until one of the moggies wanted his breakfast.

Sleep well.

More to the point, if you have kids there is a good reason to own a Croc ;-)

I see where you're coming from, Ozzy.

Or maybe a Dingo ;-)

Wasn't there a famous case some years back when a child disappeared and was supposedly taken by a dingo? If I remember correctly the parents fell heavily under suspicion. I can't remember the final outcome.

You are correct Jack.

Been a bit of a "moot point" down here ever since.

If all else fails, blame a dingo.

"Pet owners in Victoria are allowed to keep crocodiles up to 2.5m in length."

Very reasonable compromise. :-)

Perhaps they were going to stick it on the Barbie for the Xmas day roast , it got wind of the plan , and legged it

Oh come on, we've all done it. Put the croc in the back jean's pocket, strolled down the road, and it jumps out when you don't notice.

They make snap decisions like that. There's no point in crying crocodile tears over it. They come back for you when they're hungry.
