Family Planning in Action

Uploaded: November 16, 2012

Description

These are American Crocodiles caught in THE ACT of making a Family.
An Endangered Species I was fortunate to catch them breeding a bit early in the Main Pond at Gatorland . NO ONE ELSE AROUND ....
Not a resubmit but a similar shot w/a bit different touch on the editing. Personally I like the females eyes which show you the exposed extra protective cover they possess .
Little brother refers to it as Animal Porn ;O)

ENJOY THE WEEKEND



Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 500.00 mm, Model: NIKON D80
