I like getting close to nature but...

Post by MarkCDodd »

We loose the occasional tourist to the Crocodiles. Doesn't help when they get this close! :shock:

Brutus is 5.5 meters in size and lost his front right leg to a shark.

Glad to see he knows what it is like to be on somebody's menu. :P

I don't think a saltwater croc would be quick enough to eat a Great White shark.

Crocs will eat other crocs quite happily.

Your pretty safe if the croc has chomped on an American tourist.

The taste puts them off humans.

I think those tour operators who teach crocs to jump out of the water after meat are crazy. I've been close enough in a boat to a big croc, and I do NOT want them to be jumping out of the water near me. I heard a story once about a fisherman who had a big croc jump into his boat after a barramundi he had just caught. The croc jumped in and the fisherman jumped out. What a choice - stay in the boat with the croc that you know about or jump into the water with the dozens that you don't know about ... yet!
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.
