Crocodile farm
Crocodiles don't like it when you poke them in the ribs.
We had a lot of fun visiting the crocodile farm at Assini. As you can see in this video, a crocodile is fast. When he snaps at the wood stick, he is just a flash of fearsome muscle. It really gets your adrenalin pumping. See how the crocodile uses his tail to attack. I felt like I jumped a foot when the crocodile fist jumped. I guess I didn't, since my camera stayed stable.

Abidjan Zoo black Emperor scorpion
This black Emperor scorpion was on the ground at the zoo in one of the separation areas that keeps animals separate from the visitors. Joshua spotted it crawling around. It was larger than my size ten feet.
Abidjan Zoo
Mike, Sue, Josh, John and George Assouf
George arrived to tour the zoo with us. This is a large Silk Cotton tree or Kapok (Ceiba pentrandra). Notice how the trunk branches out into supports. In French it is called a Fromager. Fromager is French for cheese tree, because the ripe seedpod smells like cheese.
The others were all on this bench that was on two piles of dirt a foot above the ground. Erosion had worn away the surrounding dirt.
Josh, John , Sue and Mike
As I joined them, the ground crumbled and it tipped forward. John caught the bench as we jumped from it. Then we took this photo.

Joshua's 1st SCUBA Dive
Joshua dived to 3 meters, about 9 feet, and saw many fish and even some sea urchins. He doesn't like them at all. His dive lasted about 20 minutes. He was too cold to continue on much longer. The water that day was cold, about 17C or 63F. I, Mike, dived at a different location that day. I wore two diving suits to stay warm.
