The History Of Crocodile-Filled Moats - Ripley's Believe It or Notcast Episode 013

from Ripley's Believe It or Notcast · host Ripley's Believe It or Not!

The idea of a moat imparts a sense of impassibility and danger. For one to fall into the waters of a castle moat seems to spell inevitable death at the jaws of crocodiles, the pets of a sinister count or king, but is there any historical precedence for crocodile-filled moats? This week on the Notcast, we look through the history books to find out how moats worked and if any contained killer reptiles. Show notes are on Ripleys.com.
