Tiny water drop resting upon a small gerbera /
It was a muggy 43 degrees here in Melbourne today, and will be at about the same temperature for the next few days, so forgive me if i avoid being online this week ;) Thanks for looking! ~Taken with Canon 400d + Sigma 10-20mm lens
This one could be sleeping. Or dead.
Why yes, this would make a great Valentines Day card. Thanks for asking!
This is a photo of a real crocodile who luckily enough kept his mouth wide open for a while to enable me to take that shot. I darkened it for adramatic effect then dodged along the teeth to let some of the texture of his skin show through.
For the next month (from May 27th onwards) I’m asking people not to leave a comment on my work here. Rather, if you would like to support the work that I do please either leave a comment or upload an image here I can live without comments but homophobia needs your voices Many thanks / Robert This cup has been travelling around the world – who knows where it is know. The cup is the striped one on the left. Here (an old rectory in Glebe, Sydney). I have tried to create a disparate collection of cups (different backgrounds, histories, journeys or purposes – while they have a core similarity, connection or raison d’etre).

Recently there’s been a spate of crocodile attacks here in Australia. / / Just last weekend, 11 year old Birony Goodsell was dragged underwater by one and never resurfaced. / / If feel deeply sorry for her and even worse for her family but for crying out loud, she was swiming in our most dangerous state, in a place called Black Jungle Swamp. / / That’s just asking for it. / / So now authorities are setting traps to catch and kill these so called ‘menacing’ crocodiles. / / Fair enough but I think it’s important for all of us to remember that we don’t own this planet. We share it with millions of other species and we have to learn and teach our children to respect them and their rights. / / I’m doing this shirt to present the lighter side of these primordial creatures and point out that they aren’t menacing. They’re just hungry. / / /

A few weeks ago I was lucky enought to go behind the scences at our Zoo and feed Rats to the crocodiles. / When I tell you they are huge they are huge. Anyway, all the shots I got of feeding them were a blur. They are super fast, but I did get a couple of their eyes and teeth.

Crocodile Tears
Physical description: The muzzle of the dwarf crocodile is broad, blunt, and short; hence the name “Broadfronted.” It measures at about 1.20 meters in length; however, some have reached lengths of 1.50-1.80 meters. The dwarf crocodile gets its name because it is the smallest of all crocodiles. With the largest crocodile reaching lengths of 27 feet and weigh up to a ton, it is easy to see how a crocodile of about 3 feet could be dubbed “dwarf.” Alligators and crocodiles are easily confused and exhibit several major physical differences. Alligators have broader heads and blunter snouts. Their lower teeth fit inside the edge of the upper jaw and cannot be seen when the lipless mouth is closed. The crocodile’s fourth tooth in each side of the lower jaw is located lying in a notch in the upper jaw and is always visible. The teeth are used for seizing and holding prey instead of for chewing. They are replaced continuously as new ones grow up, forcing old ones out. Like all crocodiles, the dwarf has rigid teeth and tough scales, which cover the body. During early years of existence, the dwarf crocodile is yellow with a brown tint. The infant dwarf crocodile also has black spots on its belly and back. However, with age, the dwarf crocodile grows to resemble other forms of crocodiles in color. By maturity, the dwarf crocodile is dark brown or black. The scales become harder and the bony palates that protect the back are more dense. RANGE: West Africa
The melting of the polar ice caps made for an easy win for the Walrus Kingdom against the dreaded Polar Bears. Now that his enemies (and also the 95% of the entire human/ land animal population) had drowned, the Walrus King now had time for more pleasurable activities… like dating. He sailed the oceans for weeks on end, trying to find somebody interesting to talk to. It wasn’t until he came across a small island (which was actually the top of a huge trash dump that was now submerged) that he finally found any sign of life. On the island was a crocodile named Margaret, happily chowing down on the last humans that had managed to survive the flood. “Wow, what a nice smile she has! Can’t say she’s got great taste in food, but otherwise she seems normal enough…” So the Walrus King paddled up to Margaret, and said to her the words that he hoped would work better than they had with his ex-wife: “Hey baby! My attraction to you is like diarrhea – I just can’t hold it in!”
