What's the scariest animal in Australia besides sharks? Of course, the crocodile. This one lives in a very big fish tank at the animal park. You can see how big he is because there is a little boy looking at him floating in his pond.






Stanley was pretty scared of the live crocodile but he liked seeing the skeleton head of a dead one. This is a different kind of crocodile from the live one in the tank. This crocodile is a freshwater crocodile. He looks different from the saltwater crocodile (the live one in the fish tank). His jaw is very narrow from side to side. He still has lots of sharp teeth and he likes to eat meat but he's more shy of humans and usually swims away if you get close to him in the wild.
Stanley really liked watching the turtle swim underwater in the fish tank. You can see how big the turtle is because he's just behind Stanley who stuck himself to the glass of the tank. (Stanley can be a real showoff).
Look at the pretty snake. He must not be a poisonous one because the girl is holding him. He has his party stripes on, all yellow and white. Stanley thinks he is some kind of python.
Stanley wants to remember the park so I took this photo for him.
