Billabong Sanctuary - Abbey

On Sunday the 25th of April we went to Billabong Sanctuary. There was a whoppin' great big croc called Jaws and he was MASSIVE! He was about over 2 meters! I'm guessing 'cause I forgot how big the fella said he was. They left Jaws' cage door open which scared me heaps.The pic is of Jaws' 4th and only living girlfriend. He killed his other 3! Jaws is way bigger than his girlfriend so that might give you an idea of how big he is. There was a cassowary and I got to feed him.The fella said that cassowaries don't attack with their head things, they attack with their big toes. The toe has this BIG claw that could probably rip you open! Ouch! Then we went to my favourite part. The reptile handling! I got to hold a baby croc! (But I noticed that it's jaws were sticky taped together, and that took some of the fun out of it) Then I got to hold an olive python! His name is Ollie.(Not the most original name!) He is 'bout as long as 2 adults. The lady said that he had never bitten anyone before but there is always a first time for everything and this could be your unlucky day. That just made me want to hold him more! It was SOOOOOOOOOO fun! The lady let me have another go! I think that most of the other people were scared out of their wits!
