A woman has been rescued from the jaws of a saltwater crocodile in Australia after her husband jumped onto its back and forced it to flee.Damn! I visited Litchfield NP in 2002, it's just west of Darwin. Fantastic place - just don't muck around with salties. And on that note, the idiocy of the following can not be underestimated:The attack took place in the Litchfield National Park near Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory.
The crocodile lunged at its victim as she stood on the banks of a river, locking its jaws around her legs before trying to drag her into the water.
Police have said the heroism of her husband almost certainly saved her.
Last week, police in the Northern Territory opened fire on a crocodile as it closed in on a drunken man who had accepted a dare to swim in dangerous waters.They should have shot that fucking drunk moron candidate for the Darwin award instead and let the croc have his dumb ass.
