Too Dangerous

Too Dangerous
On the Rio Tarcoles in Carara National Park in Costa Rica, some boat operators tempt fate and try to increase their tips by coaxing wild American crocodiles to come out of the water to be hand fed chicken. This was taken from afar of a tour boat driver risking his health to do so. Our boat driver did not not do this and we tipped him well in appreciation of his sanity.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

I was in shock watching him. It seemed so dangerous and to do it just to get more tips was utterly insane. I was glad that I was not with his tour group. I would have felt so guilty to have encouraged this type of behavior.
