Alligator Attack

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

The way the croc does that twist with her hand in its mouth, surely there can't be much left of her hand?

[Who me ?]

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.

Agree,the 'death roll' made it look like the Alligator had a rag doll in it's mouth

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.

They are a solid piece of muscle pretty much.

He did have an oh fk 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.

too bloody true

they also love horses when silly owners give them a bath in the rivers

i have salmon fished on most rivers in the UK and always took my lab/s but i never took them when i fished the River Naver in Sutherland because the place was infested with adders - and labs just love to pick up 'things'

You really need to teach them the difference between a bird and a snake... and which one to retrieve. Maybe you need a mongoose.

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.

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

[Love Labradors]

again i;ll not post unpleasant videos but i have seen some absolutely horrendous images of elephants missing half their trunks and blood coming out like a fountain
