A drunk man who climbed into a crocodile enclosure in Australia and attempted to ride a 5m (16ft) long crocodile has survived his encounter.
The crocodile, called Fatso, bit the 36-year-old man’s leg, tearing chunks of flesh from him as he straddled the reptile.
He received surgery to serious wounds to his leg and is recovering in hospital, police say.
He had been chucked out of a pub in the town of Broome for being too drunk.
its not 100% clear whether this last line refers to the man or the croc..
“strewth! no more Fosters for you mate, you’re getting too snappy with other people in the bar. I think you’ve had enough now and should go back to the Zoo!” :laugh_at:
