Adelaide River jumping Crocodiles

Today we drove to the Adelaide river just past Humpty Doo to go on a Jumping Crocodile boat tour, this was the original tour started and is still the best, very personalised, 25 max on the boat not 75 like the other two.

 We firstly went downstream and saw a couple of medium sized females, the chap that runs it has named each croc, because they are very territorial he knows each one.

Along the way he stops and has a couple of Kites that he has trained to take meat from the boat and also catching it in flight.

Then it's back upstream to where the big male croc's are, today only one came out, it is the largest and oldest in this part of the river, "Brutus" is a bit of a celebrity having made the Northern Territory Times a couple of weeks ago when he was caught on film catching and killing a wild pig. Brutus is over 5 meters long.

Then there are the smaller ones, this one is about 4 years old.

Then there where some more medium sized females.

And I didn't feed Chris to the croc's.
