  • Yes funnily enough the crocodile bit his leg before he managed to sit on the beast! But you would have to be seriously crazy or mentally deficient to attempt anything this crazy. Last crocs i saw in Darwin did not give me a very inviting vibe - especially the 80 year old monster but i did hold a 3 week old one and it was very soft and i thought what a lovely pair of shoes it would make!
  • DRUNKEN TOURIST TRIES TO RIDE AN AUSTRALIAN CROCODILE

    The Telegraph (UK) reports that a man from eastern Australia visiting western Australia climbed into an enclosure with sea crocodiles and tried to mount one called Fatso. "Police said he had been ejected from a nearby pub for being too drunk before he decided to scale a barbed wire fence to get a closer look at the reptile and give him a pat...."

    The local police chief reported, "He has attempted to sit on its back and the croc has taken offence to that." The guy is now recuperating in a hospital.
