All in a days work in the Top End

[Warrigal]

A CROCODILE has shocked workers at a Northern Territory crane hire company when it walked into their work shed and started hissing at them.

Nothing too serious just a little "freshie", only 1.5 metres. Not exactly an everyday experience either.

None where I live SeaBreeze.

All crocs in Australia are found in the tropics. There are two kinds - the salties which grow very big and they are very dangerous. They eat people when they can. The other kind are the freshies, much smaller and are for the most part just fish eaters.

Some friends of our vacationed in Australia many years ago, and they said they saw a large 'saltie' and it was very threatening in looks alone.

They are terrifying. We saw a lot of them in Kakadu National Park at the end of the Dry Season when they become concentrated in the remaining patches of water.

They stink, too

Thank God ,we only have to deal with alligators in the U.S.,they only bite people till you hit them on the nose/eyes.
