Croc drags man by foot out of tent
http://www.news24.com/Travel/South-A...-foot-20140130
Pretoria – An angler from Botswana made a lucky escape over the weekend, when he survived a crocodile’s attempt to turn him into a midnight snack.
Volksblad reports that Bazil Roth was camping at the Rust de Winter dam in Limpopo when a 2,4 metre crocodile grabbed hold of his foot and tried to drag him out of his tent.
Roth and his friend, Barend Lamprecht were spending the weekend fishing at the dam and had set up camp conveniently close to the water.
A short while after going to sleep, Roth woke up to the yells of Lamprecht who had felt something falling on top of the tent.
They decided to investigate and spotted the large croc lurking in the water a few metres away from the tent. This is also when they discovered large tears in the tent canvas.
Although Lamprecht thought they could have been caused by the croc’s teeth, Roth laughed it off and went back to bed.
Only to be woken a short while later again by an uncomfortable tug on his left foot.

Mama always said: " life is like a box of chocolates, you never know when a crocodile wil try to eat you" You need to be a special kind of stupid to get into that situation.

Exactly what I was thinking Peter.
Het hulle visgevang of gehengel? Distinct difference in those 2 forms of the sport....

Re: Croc drags man by foot out of tent
Crocs have an acute sense of smell.
The victim probably was in need of a bath? Ripe feet?

Re: Croc drags man by foot out of tent
Maybe the croc wanted to be where he belonged?
Those ugly shoes seem to be dangerous :-P
