Harley, we were told, was the runt of his litter. Eventually had to be taken away & hand-fed, hand-reared. As a result, quite placid. But less than half the size a crocodile of its age—two years—should be. Most suitable for that most desirable of tourist photos.....Portrait of the artist with a young crocodile. Even so, the jaws are taped shut. From birth extremely sharp teeth.
Belly skin oh so soft leather. Suede. But back samurai armor. Small plates, each containing a bone. Extreme protection.
