"I began playing with it for a photo ... I didn't realise that crocs were so aggressive. ... I was shocked - the animal clearly wanted to kill me"

That's about the only thing I know about crocs. I don't know, maybe in Israel crocs intelligence and sanguinity are better known that their carnivorosity?

I empathise more with the croc. But I sympathise with the guy -- a predator spends 90% of its time failing to hunt iirc, but people do stupid stuff and have narrow escapes only some of the time :)

At least the people who deal with these sorts of incidents can get the luser to admit he did something.

"I didn't change anything!" "Really? Then why do you have your finger in a panther's eye, and no legs?"

ROFL. That's priceless.

Although, I bet they can't. I mean, he was caught on camera, I bet lots of people say "I was just walking past and it went for me!" with no mention of "Ooh, sleeping tiger! I wonder what happens if I poke it?" :)

Earlier I watched the last episode of Life in Cold Blood, where David Attenborough demonstrates the "very clear signalling" of an alligator defending its nest.

Brave man.

He's a very brave man. Putting his face near enough to that spitting snake to provoke a reaction must take some nerves even if you are wearing a visor to protect your eyes.

Very clear signalling -- biting the legs off anyone who comes close? But yes, I thought alligators were pretty clearly dangerous.
