it's surroundings beyond base instinct!! It's hunting food... man is not the

Got some bad news for you, CM. Man *is* natural prey for sal****er
crocs. Back in the 'old' days, the aboriginals apparently used to do
river crossings at a sprint. The logic was that the croc, if about,
would nail one of the older, slower members.

That's taking recycling a bit too far IMHO.


I agree with you about people in croc habitat needing to have a clue,
but crocs will kill people for food. It's not like a bear raiding a
tent for food & the occupant merely being in the way.

I've never seen one but never want to. Florida alligators can't compare.
I've read accounts of the Australian sal****er croc grabbing people out
of boats... heard of one case of one grabbing a person out of a stalled
jeep... not fun.
