    More Aussie Territory Tails

    Taken last week at Borroloola (NT, Australia ). It measured 6.325 meters and weighed in at 1855 kilos. That's a big lizard! It started annoying one of the local Barramundi fisherman by eating the prop off his outboard. He reckons it was circling the 5 metre tinny (boat) for 20 minutes before the decision to kill it was made by him and a very frightened decky.

    One would not think a propellor would be a tempting meal for a croc, no matter how big!

    Why didn't the boat just move on? They were probably fishing in the
    Croc's dinner spot. They need to eat too.

    I would assume with no prop on the engine, they wouldn't be able to move anywhere. Sounds like Mr Croc had his sights set on the fishermen next. I don't think I'd wait to find out tho, and I'd have to do him in before he did me in. Yup - that's one big lizard alright...........

    Those things will grab anything that moves.
