I had no idea what sort of wildlife we were going to run into in our little boat. The oarsman stopped at one point and pointed into some foilage: Jim, Shiva and I were greated with the gaping tooth-filled maw of a large crocodile.

To make an analogy, the shock of seeing something like a crocodile mere feet from me was the somewhat the same feeling one would receive from somebody stating midly to you, "did you know that the building is on fire?"

Being that the sign at the park entrance contained the words "bird" and "sanctuary" one does not immediately make the conclusion, "oh, there's going to to be things that could eat me!" Looking around, I realized there were multiple times more crocodiles than people in the park and for an instant I felt quite vulnerable in our tiny row boat.

After I checked our little boat for leaks and the initial shock let me I felt quite safe and shot scores of pictures of anything and everything that moved. There were many crocs, birds, and even other sets of tourists to shoot pictures of. The shot for today is one grouping that I caught with most of these elements together.

Although asthetically this isn't the most interesting shot in the world, I thought I would share with you my experience and recommendation of visiting this park if you ever get the chance.
