Crocodile Dioramas


 Everyone knows not to get too close to a crock!

 They are rather exotic and scary-looking creatures.


You can get a good look at them, fairly close-up, by looking at the dioramas at the Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado.

 The rattlesnake and the crocodile diorama is especially fascinating.

We'll never know who won!

    We saw a real one in a swamp try to snatch a deer drinking water. Thank goodness the deer scampered.

    I don't know much about them but I would never want to come close to one that is for sure..in a museum maybe but not in person!

    That was interesting - we love crocodiles here. We have even visited an alligator farm! What do I know about alligators - not to get too close!

    These are great crocodile pictures, Susan. They are a bit scary looking, but so interesting. Jess held a baby alligator in New Orleans. :~)
