The Craft · 03
The way a farm works is written in its daily choices: how much room a nest has, whether smaller animals can feed, what the water needs, and who notices when something changes.
Examine the decisions01 · Field notes
Look at four parts of the farm through the work done there: breeding, growing, water care and the people who keep it all moving.
01 / 04 Breeding
Eggs in sand, with a person nearby.
Seronera describes giving breeding females space around nests and using nesting poles in its breeder areas.
How are nesting areas arranged through a season?
02 / 04 Growing
A group of young crocodiles.
The farm describes grouping growing animals by size so a smaller animal does not compete with a much larger one at feeding time.
When does the team decide to regroup growing animals?
03 / 04 Habitat
A pool and a shaded structure in one outdoor enclosure.
Water is tested, dams are cleaned and some are rested. The work starts again the next day.
How often is each dam tested, cleaned and rested?
04 / 04 People
A person standing beside a fenced enclosure.
Animal care depends on people observing, feeding and maintaining the spaces. The farm describes safety procedures as part of that work.
What does a day of observation and maintenance involve?
02 · The question behind the surface
A mark has a shape. Behind the skin lies water to maintain, animals to group and people watching what changes.
Hold both in view: the individual surface and the choices made before it became leather.
Inspect the surface03 · After the farm
In the workshop, a Seronera tag helps identify a tanned skin. Making, the finished photograph and applicable movement documents add later parts of the story.

Now go close to the scales. Four skins show how much can change across one surface.
