BBC NEWS tonight reported that alligator "farmers" / ranchers(?) in Australia are not going to be artificially inseminating female alligator...(or is it crocodiles?) with the sperm they "remove" from males of the species. One of the folks at the "ranch" said it took them more than a year of studying the male's anatomy to determine where and how to "harvest" the sperm.

Apparently, male crocodiles have this tendency to fight with and sometimes chomp down on the female...making for a less than saleable skin for harvesting.

The thought of that scares the crap out of me. How do you, uh, harvest the sperm from a croc?

I would assume one would consume enough Fosters until their courage is at "Croc Hunter" Level, followed by some 'playful' wrestling and croc porn, whatever that is. If this person survives with most of their blood inside their body, it would be considered a successful harvest.

I sure hope it doesn't start by laying on your belly.

Freshwater or saltwater crocodiles?

There is a rather large difference (no pun intended).
