Description

Hope this HELPS get you over HUMP DAY.
This is a Mugger Croc from India and I could not get the scoop from the Gator Farm People in St. Augustine on how all his teeth went missing. Was told they just take a bit longer to replace than most other Croc. Family Members Look close and you can see a few breaking through,

Comments later as I'm off to get the Car Serviced before the trip North in 10 SHORT DAYS ;<(

Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/250 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 270.00 mm, Model: NIKON D90

I guess he will have to eat lots of pudding for a while! What a great find! Cannot believe that you will be home in ten days. It has gone quickly, hasn't it? #10074564
