Boris Johnson gives baby Prince George - the crocodile - a kiss in Australia During a holiday in the Northern Territory, Mr Johnson visited a crocodile farm and met the creature named as the territory's gift to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge after their baby's birth last month. Before proceeding with a gentle kiss, Mr Johnson asked: "Is this politically advisable? Does everybody have to kiss a croc, is this a standard thing? Mr Johnson said the reptilian George was a "well-bred crocodile" and urged Prince William to make a visit to Australia to meet him. "I think the royal family should definitely do that, meet George before he gets turned into a handbag," he said. The crocodile is currently about 20 inches long, but can grow to up to 20 feet and weigh up to a ton. It came from an egg that was laid on the day the royal couple announced they were having a baby. Mr Johnson said he had seen a crocodile eat a barramundi during his visit to Kakadu National Park, about 180 miles from Darwin. When he heard that George was a saltwater crocodile, he said: "I've met those guys, you have to be very careful. I saw one eat a barramundi in a very decisive way. The crocodile will be kept at an aquarium in Darwin.
