Croc country. Nest raiders
Description
Australia's crocodile ranchers are a tough breed. Wrangling these man-eaters is dirty, demanding, and dangerous work. Success in this business comes down to one thing, raising as many of these critters as you can. And that means eggs. But to get to the eggs, they've got to deal with a few hundred pounds of angry mother. It's nesting season in Australia's crocodile country, and for a man on a date with a hundred angry females, croc rancher John Lever is a man in a hurry. He's been breeding crocs for 20 years, but for his family, ranching crocodiles is more than a business. John is an ardent conservationist, and every crocodile he raises is one less animal taken from the wild.
