Its like a horror movie..except its real. How terrible. I thought there was a movie called croc.


The shocking death of a fisherman who was snatched from his boat by a leaping crocodile has prompted a coroner to urge authorities to warn boat users of the growing crocodile danger in northern Australia.
The inquest into the horrific death of Bill Scott, 62, in 2014 has heard that wildlife rangers in the Northern Territory have been receiving reports of crocodiles launching at, nudging and biting boats.
Family and friends watched in horror as a 4.74 metre crocodile leapt from a waterhole and clamped its jaws around the left shoulder and chest of Mr Scott as he stood in his 3.5-metre aluminum boat.
The crocodile then flipped the 62-year-old man into the water and he was never seen again alive.

That's sad. :( I was once on an airboat ride in the Everglades and a young alligator lunged out of the water toward me. It was about a foot away from my arm. Scary!

Time to start hunting crocs. Tell you!
Really, one guy gets offed by a croc and you're ready to go to war?

If you really want to do some good, pick up a fly swatter and start hunting mosquitoes since mosquitoes kill thousands of people every year. (Just isn't as sexy hunting mosquitoes though is it?)

How many crocs getting killed by red necks in the south to make purses from?

Many people don't realize it, but crocs can also run as fast as a goddamn horse. So don't think you can out run a croc in s straight line, you can't. Try it and you will die.

Yes, you have to zig-zag. Crocodiles take a while to turn.


It's the same with great bear.

Went to a crocodile sanctuary in Cuba.

On the way back to the hotel, we stopped at a seafood restaurant which secretly had some croc food on the menu.

I've tried alligator tail in Florida. Not bad.

Faster than a horse? I can see them being quick from a standing start, but not in the long run. However, after watching one jump out of the water (from the link) to go after bait, your realize that they are incredibly powerful animals.

There are 10x as many crocs now compared to when they were endangered. If you want to save a species, you have to either farm it or selectively cull it. Either way, it's going to be a macho style hunt, given humans cunning and crocs sheer ability to SURVIVE SINCE THE DINOSAUR AGE, I'm saying the odds are 50/50. Gonna make for great realty tv!
