where's my lunch?

This croc lives in the Adelaide River and came up to the boat for a bit of a free feed.

When a crocodile loses a tooth, it is quickly replaced. These reptiles can go through 8,000 teeth over a lifetime.

WHOA....hope you weren't his snack. Looks awfully close. Maybe behind glass or a really good zoom? Great detail Annie...almost looks like a smile!

[Shepherdman]

Great shot - reminds me of when we fed crocs in Cairns. The croc kept pinching the dangling meat before either of us could press the shutter!

[Phil Howcroft]

positively scary annie, those teeth are so sharp, i might be having a 'mare tonight !!!

[Taffy]

Fabulous -- those teeth are frightening! Hope you weren't close to this!

[Babs]

I'll have a crocodile sandwich and make it snappy ha ha

[Maggiemae]

Wow - just look at that mouth and those sharp teeth! Did you throw him a fish?

[Graeme Stevens]

And they say I have a big mouth...

[Call me Joe]

[Rachel]

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Yikes! I don't think I'd give this one a snack- he might take a finger or two along with it! Great shot!

[KoalaGardens🐨]

great capture :)

[KWind]

super compsition! Great shot.

[Yao RL]

I thought he is bored. What a great angle and cropping, I hope it is cropping, otherwise you might be part of his lunch.

[Tineke]

This is real close, don't led him feed a part from you

[Annie D]

[Bill Fenske]

somehow, this doesn't make me feel hungry at all. :-)

[Annie D]

@shailestha it is the bite pressure which really does the trick

[Annie D]

@bill_fe i have no idea why Bill :)

[Annie D]

@ninaganci thanks Nina - it was pretty cool

[Annie D]

@creampuff doesn't he just
@dolphin we were warned not to lean our bits over the railing ha ha

[Barb Newcomb]

There are a few teeth there that need a clean, but oh well, just fall out and grow a new one. Great info Annie. I did not know that about crocs before. This a an amazing shot. I hope it was a long lens? Fav!!

[Annie D]

@beachdog we were looking down from a boat - not too far from the action

[Richard Sayer]

Thankgoodness they replace their teeth easily... can you imagine a croc' with raging toothache?

[Annie D]

@vignouse ha ha yes wouldn't want to be there for that

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Another wow. Would love to see these in real.

[Annie D]

@overalvandaan they're awesome Saxa

[Osia Strasner]

See, this is exactly what I am talking about.....I don't understand why and how, we as humans, have not evolved to the point where we can grow new teeth just like we do with nails!! I think it is a conspiracy on the part of the dental association!!

[Bankmann]

N-i-c-e...! Almost like taken from a 50's horror show... :-)
