Something Different
What's scarier than a crocodile? A crocodile with a chainsaw:
|
A crocodile agitated by a chainsaw's noise has chased the man operating it and snatched the machinery from him.A shark with a laser may still be scarier...
Freddy Buckland was at a Northern Territory roadhouse on Friday cutting a dead tree that had fallen against a saltwater crocodile pen during Cyclone Monica when the 4.4-metre reptile struck.
"As he was trimming up the tree on the outside the croc jumped out of the water and sped along the tree about 18, 20 feet and actually grabbed the chainsaw out of his hands," said Peter Shappert, the owner of the Corroboree Park Tavern, 80km east of Darwin.
