We arrived in Lusaka after midnight. When we awoke we found a hotel employee feeding the crocs in the hotel pond. WHAT?
|
Yep, the hotel kept baby crocodiles in the pond in the hotel atrium and morning feedings were a spectacle.
|
The morning meal - raw meat.
|
|
Here's one right in front of our room.
|
The handler came over to feed him.
|
This is how he feeds him - using a long African spear he probably got from one of the curio dealers we saw on our safaris.
|
|
Chomp, chomp...
|
After breakfast, they just relax. We were assured they are removed to a croc farm once they get big. Good idea. Losing hotel guests to the crocs in the pond is bad for business!
