Feeding the crocs

One of my friends lives out in the country and has the distinct provilege of having a croc enclosure in his backyard! How many people do you know who keep crocs as "pets"? Granted, he's renting the house and didn't totally choose to have those crocs in his backyard, but they came with the house!
From the stories told about those crocs, eggs were found over 10 years ago on the shore of Lake Malawi by the owners of the house who picked them up, incubated them and saw over 10 crocs hatch! Out of that bunch only three remain!
But boy, are those things intimidating or what? They are kept in an enclosure with a pond, bushes and mud, the perfect environment to lounge in the sun all day and take a quick dip when too hot!
The crocs are fed about four kilos of meat once a week. After rattling the gate to the enclosure, their keeper aims and throws the food towards their mouths!
Feeding time is truly a sight to be seen, with those three predators lurking in the water and moving so quickly to catch their food! As I am watching this feeding, all I can think is that I am glad those three reptiles are on the other side of the fence and that I hope none of them will escape, again, as it seems one did a runner once, only to be caught quickly and safely put back into the enclosure!
Yet another first in Malawi: feeding your pet crocs ;-)
