Crocs away

The almond blossom is on the trees, the first greenhouse strawberries are appearing in the markets and the crocodile breeding season has arrived! Yes as spring hits the Luberon and Les Alpilles, it's a little known fact that the warmer weather begins to make the giant reptiles frisky. The 35 males - each weighing over 400 kilos - at the Pierrelatte crocodile farm indulged in some macho posturing as they searched for their mates. The result a juvenile male croc with a broken jaw and a page 3 La Provence story. It's been another busy week!
