trainers perform outrageous stunts

THEY are the fearless crocodile trainers who wow onlookers at a Thai zoo by getting a bit too close for comfort to the deadly man-eaters.
But the truth behind these photos is that these daredevils are rewarded with a measly $7 a day despite performing some truly outrageous stunts at the Pattaya Crocodile Farm.
One such stunt sees the male trainer run, slide along the floor and then reach in to kiss a crocodile on the tip of its nose without even flinching.

And not to be outdone, a female trainer casually puts the croc into a relaxed trance using a bamboo stick, before carefully placing her head between its gaping jaws. Animal shows are big business in Thailand but it’s certainly not for the trainers and we doubt the wild animals enjoy having sticks or human heads for that matter, stuck in their mouth either.
