...walk outside in this country anymore.

A TEENAGER has escaped from the jaws of a saltwater crocodile while hunting in a remote area of the Northern Territory.

The 17-year-old boy was grabbed on the leg and dragged into a billabong by the 2.6m crocodile, before managing to escape.

yikes - what was a salt water croc doing in a billabong? Isn't a billabong a fresh water spot?

Devilishly clever those crocs. Be turning up in suburban swimming pools and saunas next!

Actually, our alligators often do turn up in swimming pools. But, they're fresh water reptiles.

yep - the crocs are pretty active this year - caused some problems in Cairns earlier in the week.

And despite all the croc warning signs, some bloody stupid tourist went for a swim, because he thought they were a joke!

Well - there's the saying - if you want to keep a crocodile happy - give him a Yank!

Technically it's true, much laughter coming from the swamp these days.


"So, I sez 'Do you swim here often?'. An' he says, 'SHIT. A talking crocodile!!!'. Then I eats him!!".

"Gawd, that's just so flippering funny!!"
