This is why cameras were invented. So I can watch crazy people do stuff that I will not in a million years!

Crocs were hunted to near extinction until they were declared a protected species. Their numbers are recovering, and because there are now more people in he areas where they are found, the instances of attacks is increasing. There are plenty of recorded instances of crocs appearing in suburban swimming pools. With the gradual rise in temperatures, crocs are starting to migrate south to more temperate climates.

Croc numbers took a hit after the cane toads started to migrate to their habitats, but there is some evidence of recovery now. They are starting to be viewed as a real nuisance around Darwin these days

Nice find Andy.
