If you don't respect the closest thing to a prehostoric animal then be prepared for any consequences...

Not really nice, but perhaps poetic justice? Many years ago I worked in Zimbabwe and heard of this tale of an abortive theft of a game warden ranger's car. Ranger had returned to town from the bush with a young Croc on the back seat . Croc was wrapped in a wet blanket to keep it calm, whilst ranger visited the bank. At this time, we had a lot of front entry thefts from cars etc, and folks fitted alarms to front doors, Natives realised this and went in through back door/window. Croc was not happy at being disturbed and made a citizen's arrest, to be released by local police.

Fair play to the guy that jumped in though, certainly knew what he was doing and handled the situation well. What I found surprising was just how strong it was for its size, totally underestimated the power it had.
He did have an oh f
k kinda moment, after he'd freed the woman and had to work out his own exit. i love crocodilians and i have a degree of knowledge especially the saltwater crocodiles
saltwater crocs and their Nile relatives are the only creatures that see human beings as a food source and will actively seek out this food source
yes, lions, bears etc will kill and eat the occasional human but they do not see humans as a regular food source
saltwater crocs kill thousands each year but most are in countries that have no recording system - simply they see fishermen etc being eaten as a way of life and never report deaths/losses
and saltwater crocs are growing larger year by year
if you read your prehistory - look for sarcosuchus imperitor - 30 foot plus and over 4 tonnes
Dicovery i think did a documentary - 'when crocs ate dinosaurs'

Don't let your dog walk along the riverbank in north Queensland - salties love labradors as much as you do.saltwater crocs and their Nile relatives are the only creatures that see human beings as a food source and will actively seek out this food source

Coming from the Breckland in South Norfolk, the dog/adder interface is all too common. As long as you know the dog’s been bitten, you’re fine (or, more to the point, the dog is). It’s the ones that you miss that can be dangerous.they also love horses when silly owners give them a bath in the rivers

There's a video online, I believe from Florida, of a croc/ali swimming past a jetty with a big dog in its mouth, I won't post it as it never goes down particularly well Gassing Station | All Creatures Great & Small | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
