Description

This is the reason I mentioned "natural selection" and "croc pooh" in my previous post of the horses. This one was about 2 metres long (just over 6ft) which is the size considered to be hazardous to people and therefore also young horses. 3 metre ones will take full grown Water Buffalo which are bigger than horses and I have personally seen a 6.9 metre one (about 22ft). This little'un was less than 100 metres from Mum and baby horse from my last post and I saw nearly 20 more in the next kilometre.

LOL great title, I admire your guts, I wouldn't get this close, and I have always said they should all be shoes and handbags, Dinosaurs had their shot!
