Today I had the somewhat onerous task of telling a 9ft crocodile that it couldnt come in. Working in Sudan, in the swamp area and suddenly heard a lot of shooting at the front gate. Ran up to see what was going on, (sadly the head of security cant be found quivering under his bed) and found my guards shooting at it.
I stopped them and basically informed said beast that without a visitors pass there was no possible way of coming into my camp. It didnt seem overly eager to sign the book so turned tail and off it went.
I followed it up the road for about a hundred metres or so, before it toddled off into the swamp.
Most times I just accept that my job is what I have to do to pay the mortgage, but there are times when I realise just how lucky I am.
What a privilege to walk (at a discreet distance) next to a totally wild animal in its natural surroundings, especially one as historically old as this dinosaur.
Awesome!!!
Sadly I didnt have my camera with me, but if it comes back I will snap it and get a picture of us both smiling together.
