Just seeing the mighty jaws of crocodiles
makes our heart race.
However, for those who want heart-stopping
adventures, a theme park in Australia is the
place to go.
The theme park’s ‘Cage of Death’ plunges
visitors into a hungry crocodile’s chamber.
For those with thalassophobia, such activities
are an instant no-go.
However, despite how scary it seems, taking
a dive with some crocodiles that want to chomp
you up for breakfast might be the perfect
way to bridge the gap between fearing whatever
lurks in the water and seeing some incredible
creatures, up close and personal.
If you take a trip Down Under to the Crocosauras
Cove in Darwin, Australia, you’ll get to
see plenty of crocodiles, as well as the ‘world’s
largest display of Australian reptiles, with
over 70 species of reptiles on display in
your reptile enclosure’.
For those wanting to get even closer, there’s
the Cage of Death.
If you’re brave enough, you can be lowered
five metres deep into a tank with a particularly
large croc during its feeding time.
As you look out at the underwater beast, only
four centimetres of acrylic separates you
from its jaws.
Unlike shark dives, there’s no bars for
the reptiles to grip onto, so you’re completely
safe, albeit, there’s a few deep teeth scratches
visible on the sides of the tank.
Saltwater crocodiles, known locally as ‘salties’,
are the largest crocodile species, reaching
lengths of more than 23 feet and weights of
more than 2,200 pounds.
