Crocodiles, May 1960
I have two OK-zles for you today. There's nothing really wrong with these scans, except that they are a little bit boring. As is often the case with photos from the Jungle Cruise, as much as I love it. I know how much all of you like semiaquatic reptiles, so I'm featuring some crocodiles. By popular demand?
First up is this familiar look at a trio of crocs, which (I believe) were visible by people not on the ride - I think this is where the Rivers of the World merge into the Rivers of America. There are no ducks on the crocodiles, which is very disappointing. What better thing could a duck have going on? The eternal question.
Elsewhere, another triad of crocodiles; these grumpy fellows a guarding the crumbling ruins of a small temple that contained a golden idol. Watch out for the giant spiderweb (complete with spider), too! The spider won't hurt you, but it's pretty gross to walk through a spiderweb, you must admit.

Since these are animatronic crocs, the only ducks you would see perched atop them would be AEDs. If one of the crocs decided he wanted a tasty duck dinner he would get blowed up real good!
Did these three crocs have any movement? It looks like there are a few ripples around them. Maybe they just submerged, and re-emerged every once in a while? The scene looks very realistic with the murky water and overhanging foliage.
This must be a mama croc and her two smaller young'uns. I think we can just barely see the spider web (and maybe a toe of the spider) at the very top of the image.
No Snoozles this Sunday, but Snoozle adjacent. Thanks, Major.
Betty White kept that big one in the middle fed. And this is the part where if she had a.......
Oops, never mind!
