...a 300kg crocodile from a Northern Territory river popular with locals for water sports.

The last time I was up in Darwin I had lunch in a park near the centre of the CBD (such that it is in Darwin) and a 10 foot croc decided it would sun itself not 50 yards from where I was sitting. I definately kept a close eye on it while I had my lunch but my friend (who was born and raised in Darwin) didn't seem too interested.

Interesting post.
What does "300kg" mean in American? I take it that's heavy?

Why couldn't they simply drill a, say, 7.62mm 220 grains hole in it? Think of all the handbags, wallets and boots.

I guess I'm the first to say it - in the spirit of Steve Irwin....

"Crikey!"
