Anything Goes

I forgot to post this one. This had been in the news in the net for quite some time. This was one stupid tourist. Never underestimate these creatures.

This Israeli tourist just had the scare of his life on a Northern Territory river:

A MONSTER crocodile came within a metre of making a meal of a fisherman on a Northern Territory river.

The saltie came alongside the small boat - probably looking for a free feed of fish - and suddenly exploded out of the water.

It almost got its jaws around 27-year-old Israeli tourist Novon Mashiah (TOP), who was leaning over the back of a dinghy posing for a photo.

The crocodile, estimated to be more than 4m long, landed on the side of the boat and then crashed back into the water.

“I was shocked - the animal clearly wanted to kill me,” Mr Mashiah told the Northern Territory News.

“One minute I was leaning over the boat teasing it for a picture. The next minute it burst out of the water with incredible speed … its jaws fully open.

“I was shaking,” he said.

Mr Mashiah’s fishing mate, Doron Aviguy, 22, snapped the pic from a bigger boat nearby.
