My daughter-in-law has just sent some pictures of her with a baby/dwarf crocodile on her shoulder. You won't catch me doing that - I bet they can still nip. They make lovely cards though.
Happy PFF, Dorin. I happen to like crocodiles and always visit them when I'm in a Zoo. Relaxed and dangerous. My favorite is the very old one I once saw in the zoo of Fuengirola in Southern Spain. He was so old he could keep his mouth together. See my snapshot: http://www.flickr.com/photos/truusbobjantoo/3159016053/
They are majestic creatures for sure, any size.
