Croc takes a shark

Monster croc snacks on surprised shark

BEN SMEE NT NEWS AUGUST 05, 2014 3:03PM

This large bull shark might have thought it was safe to go back in the water. But he didn’t count on Brutus, Adelaide River’s most famous and fearsome resident, who showed the shark who was the true king of the waterway.

The 5.5-metre croc has become an international sensation, one of the Top End’s biggest tourist drawcards and a frequent star of the NT News.

Brutus, who is thought to be more than 80 years old, is also known for his missing front leg. The story goes that the limb was lost in a shark attack.



“We’d fed Brutus on the bank earlier and were coming back past and we saw something in his mouth,” Mr Paice said.

“The shark was still alive. Brutus took the shark back into the water and then started to shake it around a bit.

Doesn't look as if he's missed too many meals.

Israeli tourist and amateur fisherman Novon Mashiah wanted to take a closer look at the crocodile swimming behind his small boat on a Northern Territory river - his friend Doron Aviguy in a nearby boat snapped this incredible photo of Novon's lucky escape

If I still have all my fingers, it's just because I use tongs to feed my snakes, as any reasonably smart reptile keeper shall do. Looks like this guy is have a pretty hard time learning the lesson...

Late post, apologies, but one is left wondering how Brutus managed to swap missing front legs in the first 2 photos!

NT News never lets the facts get in the way of a good story!!

Look again. You'll see Brutus' left elbow right below the shark's caudal fin, in the water
