Mooron the man was asleep in his tent when the croc grabbed him and was
dragging him back to the water. The death roll is not carried out in
these circumastances. You really should not underestimate the pulling
power of a 300kg croc. I can just see it now, you with your legs in it
jaws trying to hold onto sand to stop being pulled into the water all
the while arguing with it that it's not playing by your rules.

The very brave granny jumped on it's back to slow it's progress to the
water while a gun was being fetched to stop it.

Get real man! These salties are really dangerous. You ARE lunch -if they
can sneak up on you and there's not a damn thing you can do if they've
got hold of you -unless you happen to have a weapon to hand.

Cheers

Have you ever seen a salty up close? Let me guess you'd discuss it with
him as he's dragging "lunch" back to the water??

You NIT.


Dragging??? What no "Death Roll"??? It let go when a 60 year old granny
jumps it??

Pardon my french but.... **** OFF!

Face it Nav... they have a set of jaws... are in their element in the
water. This Croc was on dry land! Burst speed is maybe 20kph for about 20
meters. Get a grip and remove the base fear from your reaction. The croc is
severely limited in it's ability to attack a land based mammal that can
sprint to 18 kph over a hundred meters in seconds.... never mind comprehend
it's surroundings beyond base instinct!! It's hunting food... man is not the
natural prey. Something attracted it..... that aspect seems to be lacking!

It's a lot like the Bear Attack I heard about a few years ago... everyone
blamed the bear as a killer... it was after a detailed investigation they
found out the small dog they had with them had gone out... found the bear...
angered it and then ran back home into the tent.... you can guess what
happened when a 1200lb angry Grizzly runs into a tent of sleeping campers!

Live with your unreasoned fear if you must.... but don't blame the animal
for human idiocy! It sounds a lot like a "Victim" statement!

Your reasoning is disgusting in it's abject ignorance!

I expected better from you...
