On our way to Mamallipurom, Christopher stopped at a hut that said "Crocodile Bank". I expected some hokey little pond with a crocodile, or maybe a statue, but we paid our 10 rupees to get in and the extra 10 for the camera. Boy was I surprised! It was the best exhibit of crocodiles I have ever seen. There were crocodiles from all over the world. Some ponds had over 400 crocs in them. Some were rare and had very few. They had pairs that had been living there and breeding since the 1970s. If you go to my Facebook page, and look at the album "Crocodile Bank", you will find many pictures of them. In one pond, a man and lady were in with them. I'm not sure what exactly the man was doing. He poked at one to make it move; maybe trying to get it in the water? It was very hot that day. The lady had a bucket, so we assumed she was feeding them. I was so glad we stopped!
