Another Bottler Pair


This Photo show two beautiful Sweethearts (Yes Sally is my main one) but the other one with her is a Sweetheart too. Sweetheart was a Large male Crocodile that had declared a certain stretch of the Finnis River His personal Territory, attacking quite a number of fishermen in small dinghies. So the decision was made to capture him and relocate him to a less populated area (there are about three people to the square mile out there) Alas in the attempt he was tranquilized which disabled a crocodiles natural defences against drowning. Although he was only underwater about 5 minutes and healthy crocs can last an hour or more easily submerged, by the time the cage he was in was raised, he was dead! So I introduced my sweetheart to the Territories version and took this bottler photo to give you an idea of the size. For the uninitiated - Bottler - means "Bonzer Beaut" or ripper tune, or anything else peope say when they see anything that they think is pretty good or terrific, like Sally is!

Yea, you are right, Sally is a "bottler", but not so sure about that huge croc....I think I would rather meet him now than before in a river!

Sally has to be the best to be posed with this critter! Love the expressions.
