Don't think that croc survived to ever pull that stunt again.

I have seen a couple of similar videos where crocs try to pull similar stunts. I wonder if they have any perspective of size and strength of their quarry.They just see a dangling trunk in the water and go for it or what? Best- Locksley,R.

That croc must surely have not realized what that was attached to. | |||

Wonder what would have happened if he had grabbed one of the juveniles? Hunting: Exercising dominion over creation at 2800 fps. | |||

I wasn't quite whizzing in the river, but I was once standing on the bank of the Lugenda in Northern Mozambique, back to the water, trying to decipher some native writing on a tree, when a 12 footer slipped out of the water behind me with me in mind for lunch. I caught movement as a reflection in my sunglasses and, when I spun quickly around, the Croc decided that discretion was in order and turned back to the water, although my handgun was several yards away and I was all but helpless if he had come on. Scary! I never did decipher the writing on the tree, but I now think that it was probably "Beware of the Crocodiles" When you get bored with life, start hunting dangerous game with a handgun. | |||
