On Saturday, 18 August 2012, my dad, Vanya, Squirrel, Damian and myself went to the Crocodile Farm in Stellenbosch. It was the one amazingly clear, sunny, warm day between a series of cold fronts. There was snow on the nearby mountains, and the air was crystal clear, and filled with birds singing (you will hear them in the videos). After the tour, we ordered a crocodile pie, so we've all tasted croc now. I can honestly say I don't enjoy the meat...

The two babies.
There were about 750 crocodiles there - as far as the eye could see.
They are very social, lying on top of each other in the sun.
Fast asleep.
I loved their ancient design, not changed in millions of years.
The two back, webbed feet.
We went to feed the emus outside.
So ugly it's gorgeous!

Telling her to wait - she was getting impatient.
Greedy bird!

Precision pecking!
To quote my dad: "This tree wants nothing to do with straight!"
Skew tree.
The snow-tipped mountains in the background - see how tall Damian is to Squirrel.
