100英镑换回食人鳄鱼微笑亲吻20分钟

  Customers pay about £100 to spend 20 minutes swimming alongside the crocs; the largest of the beasts measures a whopping 18ft and weighs over 125 stone,

  One of the mighty reptiles at the Crocosaurus Cove park in Darwin, Australia, is named Burt. Film buffs might remember him from the first Crocodile Dundee movie - he's the one who nearly ate Linda Koslowski's character.

  Sallie Gregory, spokeswoman for the park, said: 'Many people find the opportunity of getting to within a few inches from the jaws of these crocodiles exhilarating.'

  'People often get activity ranging from an aggressive attack to a casual eye-balling and swim past where the crocs are so close that they rub against the cage.'

  'Most of the women who take part say they are happy just to watch the crocodiles while guys tend to want the action and attack.'

  这些鳄鱼有的身长18英尺,重达125英石(约793公斤)。据公园发言人介绍:当游客与鳄鱼嘴距离不到1英寸时,他们是最兴奋的,甚至有很多人在笼子里摩拳擦掌。大部分女性比较矜持,只是喜欢近距离观看,而男性游客则往往兴奋得想要攻击这些庞然大物。
