This unbelievable park in Australia where you can swim together with the crocodile even a tourist girl tourist dear to do it. But I don’t think I can make it! Imagine the crocodile have no cage you wouldn’t stand a chance swimming with a massive saltwater crocodile.
But for brave punters who still want to get close with a feisty crocodile, a new Australian tourist attraction is offering the chance for a close encounter in the safety of a clear acrylic box dubbed the ‘cage of death’.
Just 4cm of acrylic, a pair of goggles and a swimsuit, will separate thrill-seekers from the jaws of Choppa, a saltwater crocodile.

The cage has no bars, unlike cages used in shark dives, which prevents the reptiles from gripping on but deep teeth scratches are visible on the sides, deterring some hesitant participants.
Top End tourists climb into the clear box before being lowered into Choppa’s lair. They then spend 15 minutes inside the 9ft high cage and watch Choppa, who lost both front feet while fighting other crocodiles, trying to take a bite out of them. Saltwater crocodiles, known locally as “salties,” are the largest crocodile species, with the males growing up to 19.6ft long and weighing up to 2,204lbs.

They are found in across Southeast Asia but the highest numbers are found in northern Australia.
Michael Scott, who opened the attraction in July, said there was plenty of demand for the £35 thrill.
‘In the Northern Territory, the saltwater crocodile is an icon and is part of our life. They are always in the news, either in someone’s swimming pool or killing someone’s favorite horse.
