mom perches baby on ledge to take pic, baby falls to death, mom suing Staples Center

30. At the Miami Serpentarium, I remember a little boy being put on a wall

by his father to take a photo. Beneath that wall was a pit with a giant crocodile. The boy fell into the pit and the croc devoured the boy. The article does not tell the whole story of what happened. It just said that the boy fell in. The Miami Herald reported the real story and it was the father's fault.

In my opinion, it was the father who should have been shot and not the croc. It just thought it was thrown dinner.

I had visited the Sepemtarium a few times and I saw that crocodile and it was indeed massive.

The attraction had a gift shop, 400-pound turtles, a 20-foot python. It also had a pit with a 12-foot crocodile called Cookie who weighed, literally, a ton. After a 6-year-old boy fell in and died in 1977, Haast went into the pit with a pistol the next day and shot the croc.
