Yesterday I was capturing our hunting video to the computer, when I came across the day we shot our first croc.

The croc had a mouthful of meat from the hippo, which we had tied by the water's edge, went back into deeper water and was swallowing it with his head out of the water.

I aimed for his head and fired.
He went absolutely still. Deathly still. Not even a twitch of his tail. Alan was saying "well done". Roy was saying "he is not going anywhere".

The croc was pronounced DEAD!

We went and dragged the dead croc out of the water, and laid him on the grass by the river side ready for the photos.

We took pictures of every part of his anatomy - yours truly taking close up of his teeth while the mouth was wide open.

Then we noticed that his left eye was BLINKING! We attributed this to him be a leazard, and it was due to reflex action.

Someone was holding his mouth open, and he snapped it shut!

Again, this was attributed to reflex action!

We called for another truck to come with additional people to carry him to the camp.

They arrived, and a sort of committee was formed to load him into the truck.

They dragged him next to the truck, and as all committees do, they spent the next few minutes debating on how to carry him up to the truck.

One man was standing by the croc's head, and he must have noticed that the left eye was blinking.

He touched it!

The croc blinked, and the tracker pulled his hand away as if scolded!

Another man got hold of the head of the croc, and he was put into the back of the truck, and the truck drove back to camp.

As we drove back to camp after dark, our driver was talking on the radio and laughing!

Apparently the boys in the skinning shed had a nasty surprise!

They announced the croc "was walking out of the butchery".

We drove straight to the butchery, and found everyone in camp there, enjoying the ghastly show!


There was no one in danger, as they managed to tie the crocs mouth shut with ropes.

The croc wasn't walking, but was turning himself over and over sideways!

His right side was dead, but his left eye kept blinking!

Someone mentioned that he wasn't really a croc, but a witch doctor in disguise!

There were looks of utter fear on some of the faces there.

I said "he will probably come for me at night then! I will make sure I have my rifle loaded and ready"

A number of our staff starting nodding their heads in agreement.

A long knife was obtained, and he was killed by sticking it in the back of his head.

His legs were still twitching after he was skinned!!??

The second croc gave us even more trouble, and I will tell you about it when I get to that part of the video!

I screwed up the first shot, and we had a wounded croc in the water!

Let your imagination run wild now, and I can assure you you won't get even close to what had happened

That is a hair raising story.Tough son of a gun!
Glad no one was hurt.I once saw strips of meat from a freshly butchered lamb clenching and unclenching.It was freaky.
