[QUOTE="Roscoe, post: 40912, member: 1615"] A have had three very close encounters with crocs. in the past that was one of them. They know the river back to front. They also are a lot, lot smarter then we think. They are the masters of stalking in and use their environment around them to the max. For instance, i set a few cheribin (yabby) traps out and i went down late one afternoon to check them. The sun was low and the water was very glarey from the sun. Now that croc. knows all to well of this fact and used it to try and get me when i went to check a trap. Lucky i know from my past experience that he knows that and right in front of me a few metres out he came to the surface and just his eye's and nostrils were showing. I believe if i was a tourist and i didn.t know these little tactics they use i would be a goner. Please if you head North, then be careful the Rivers up here have salties many, many kilometers up stream in the fresh and they can use a lot of different tactics. [/QUOTE]
