Hazards on the job

[Jim Shooz]

Sometimes you just have to work around the hazards on the job. The Aussie salt water crocodile is the most aggressive on the planet and accounts for many deaths a year.

I have no experience with crocodiles. However - wouldn't it be considered dangerous/foolish to be grabbing one by the snout?? What's he trying to prove - he's faster than the crock or dumber than a stump??

He apparently knows the animal well and the hazards.

"Bonecruncher being an absolute pest wile we’re working to clear some logs in the water.
Guys understand this is not normal behaviour for a salt water croc. I’ve been working with crocs for over 20years now and working with bone cruncher for the last 7years this is the first croc I’ve ever seen behave in this manner. It’s great to see and be part of this relationship with a wild croc but remember that salt water croc is the most aggressive croc in the world and are the cause of many deaths."
