My Family Has a Crocodile Farm | Animated Story about Catching Reptiles

hi everyone my name is maggie and i live next to the most unusual pets the fact is that my parents breed crocodiles on their farm and such an activity often leads to severe problems before you hear my story you should learn more about my family it all started with a trade fair where many years ago my parents saw exhausted crocodiles for the first time they were literally weakening right in front of our eyes because of the constant crowds of spectators and the pressure of their tamers then they thought about a crocodile farm where animals could be kept in good conditions after a couple of months they settled the first reptiles which they bought at that fair on my father's ranch soon rumors about a new extraordinary farm were spread not only over the neighboring ranches but also over the nearby cities from where journalists were immediately sent as a result there were those who supported my parents both morally and financially but there were also those who feared living next to sharp tooth reptiles i was never afraid of them as my parents showed me crocodiles from early childhood and told me how to take care of them and how to handle them that's why when i was a child i didn't quite understand why my friends were so scared of our farm and why they refused to come to visit me many years have passed since then and our farm has grown significantly my parents bought the crocodiles whenever possible at zoos terrariums and fairs to give them proper care and i helped in taking care of the reptiles however as i got older i began to get bored with the routine on the farm i wanted to have fun with my friends and not to have to take care of these sharp-toothed monsters because of which i couldn't even call anyone over to my house and then one day when i was going to a friend's birthday party my parents went away to the city on business for the whole day and entrusted me with keeping an eye on the crocodiles they said that nothing bad would happen if i didn't go to the party i didn't share their opinion and therefore having fed the reptiles i immediately rushed to the bus stop in order to go to my friend's house but when i was at the party i suddenly thought that i might not have locked the crocodiles up before leaving in a hurry i struggled to overcome my excitement but not for long the whole evening long i tried to remember if i closed the protective fence but i just couldn't remember late in the evening when the party was over i was supposed to stay overnight at my friend's house but i decided to go home as i couldn't cope with my paranoia i perfectly remembered the consequences of the crocodile's escape because this had already happened once before a couple of years ago a crocodile managed to get through the protection fence and escape but we noticed it just the next day soon the predator was caught but before that he had greatly frightened the local residents and even ate a lamb on a nearby ranch our farm was nearly closed because of this incident and our parents had to pay a huge fine when i got back to the farm i immediately ran to the crocodiles to make sure everything was closed having come to the place i saw with horror that the doors of two fences were slightly opened i carefully moved the stick across the water in the pits thinking that the reptiles were there but no one came then i realized with horror that two adult and dangerous crocodiles had broke loose fighting against my fear i called my parents and i told them everything hearing the news of the crocodile's escape my mother was shocked and scolded me for my carelessness we decided not to contact the animal trapping company for now and to find the reptiles on our own in order to avoid problems the next morning when my parents returned from the city we headed to the pond hoping that the crocodiles hadn't gotten there before us and hadn't swum away to the neighboring ranches but there was an option which was even worse than eating the neighbor's cattle through the pond predators could get into the waste water disposal system and go straight to the city from there following the traces of flattened grass we finally came to the pond where our suspicions were confirmed there were specific footprints on the sand which led straight into the water dad sat down on the ground helplessly mom was about to burst into tears and i wanted to run away with shame we wandered along the coast for a long time in search of other traces but we didn't find anything as we returned home dad had a new plan he was going to take a motorboat from our neighbor mr thompson and sail straight to the drainpipes to intercept the crocodiles however mr thompson was already waiting for us right at the farm's entrance he complained that several of his lambs were missing and mr thompson believed that our crocodiles were to blame for the loss in order not to push the panic dad hid the truth and said that all of our pets were in place trying to play it cool he asked the neighbor for a boat to go fishing mr thompson looked at us suspiciously but he still allowed us to borrow the boat i decided to sail with my father and participate in the search because the escape was my fault we took flavoring jigs meat and sleeping pills to grab the predators and bring them back to the farm we had to take a hard look at every hummock in the pond as the crocodiles are excellent and camouflaging and it's quite difficult to notice them the thought of the fact that predators would get to the city drove us crazy because if someone got hurt my parents could end up behind bars the whole way my dad did not talk to me at all because he was angry with me for my negligence i understood him and didn't try to justify myself we sat in complete silence for several hours until my mother called she broke us some very bad news several more people came to our farm having said that their cattle disappeared since we didn't need any more panic my mother said that the crocodiles didn't leave their territory and the animals could have been eaten by coyotes which there were quite a lot of however the neighbors didn't believe her and called in the specialists for trapping animals my father and i needed to catch the reptiles as soon as possible and return them to the farm but since we had been sailing for several hours without results we began to give up in despair however when we sailed to the drainpipes we were very happy because they were closed by a grate which most likely was installed quite recently the crocodiles of course wouldn't be able to make their way into the city but if people found out that the predators had escaped then our farm would definitely be closed dad put the jigs into the water and we began to wait we sat in silence for about two hours until we noticed movement two elongated silhouettes in the water were moving in our direction we threw meat and sleeping pills overboard and prepared to get the crocodiles out of the water our plan worked but we spent too much time catching the sleeping heavy reptiles from the water and putting them in the boat when we rushed home we noticed a van of the animal trapping company driving on its way to the farm our boat was faster but there was another problem we had to carry the heavy crocodiles in our arms from the pier to the farm and this would only take up more precious time we were in such a hurry that we didn't notice the shallow directly opposite the pier the boat hit the eyelet at full speed and i simply fell into the water dad was so scared that he forgot about the reptiles and rushed to save me but luckily i was a good swimmer we spent a few more minutes to set the boat afloat and to tie up at the pier it was literally a couple of hundred meters to the house but we had heavy sleeping crocodiles in our arms which made it difficult to move i couldn't even walk a dozen steps with such a load so my father had to shoulder two crocodiles on himself and i just held them up from behind the farm gate was very close but there was already a service van fortunately mom went out to meet the inspectors and distracted them with talking so that we could return the reptiles to their folds unnoticed dad carried the crocodiles to the folds very quickly took off their ties and just a minute later the inspectors who were called by the neighbors entered the backyard we pretended to be feeding the crocodiles and showed them that the reptiles were all there in place we won the race but the cost of my mistake was still too high we had to significantly strengthen the protection fences and put up high enclosures and we also had hardly regained the trust of our neighbors although the crocodile's guilt was never proven i was placed under house arrest since then my parents didn't allow me to approach the reptiles which i'm very happy about because i don't want to come close to them after such an adventure would you like to breed some dangerous reptiles write
