Question:

  1. What is unusual about the reptiles that live at Nyanyana crocodile farm?
  2. How did they turn this way?
  3. What are the crocodiles being bred for?
Answers:

1.  My opinion about  why the crocs that lives in Nyanyana crocodile farm are so unusual or different because rather than eating meat or their prey they prefer to snack on vegetarian meals. Also there skin is softer than crocodiles that eat meat, The  crocodile that eat vegebles sleep alot more than crocodile that eat meat.
2.  In 2006 when Zimbabwe was undergoing an economic crises, the company found it impossible to find affordable meat to feed the 164000 crocodiles that were being raised in the farm. Desperate, they  started feeding the reptiles with pellets that were a mix of meat and vegetables. After noticcing that the change in diet did not seem to deter the retile's growth. They gradually eliminated the meat completely and are now raising crocodiles that are 100% vegetarian.

3. The reptiles are bred for their skin which is sold to European tanneries where it is transformed into leather and sold to fashion houses like Hermes and Gucci to make expensive handbags, shoes and belts. 

Critical thinking
I think that its a good idea because the crocodiles have a less chance of attacking the people
