Australia: Monster Croc Bites Tourist Boat, No One Injured

Two unprecedented incidents occurred on crocodile cruises on the Daintree River in Far North Queensland recently, and luckily no one was injured. In the first, a tourist fell overboard in croc-infested waters but was quickly plucked out unharmed. In the second, a 15-foot monster croc dubbed Fat Albert by the local tour operators leapt from the water and bit the side of the boat, sending tourists scattering. He had been fighting with a smaller rival and may have turned his fury on the audience. Animal experts warned that the crocodiles have become familiar with the tour boats that ply the two-mile stretch of river and more incidents are likely.
