Who, me?

Had to laugh at this one.

A crocodile at a wildlife park in New South Wales, Australia, grabbed a lawnmower from workmen during routine park maintenance and dragged it into his pool.

The five-metre crocodile (his name is Elvis) had charged staff at the Australian Reptile Park at Gosford after they went into its enclosure about 8am today. The men – who used their lawnmowers as a barrier when the crocodile lunged – managed to escape unharmed.

A rescue mission was mounted a few hours later to retrieve the mower, which Elvis had dragged underwater.

I reckon Elvis is being falsely accused over this.  I mean look at his halo, which can be clearly seen in the photo.

And no way would I ever have gone in to rescue the mower.  No matter how distracted the crocodile was.  A long rope and a grappling hook would have had to do the job for me.  Or else Elvis could keep it – he might need to mow the bottom of his pool every now and then.
