Cool pics. Lots of them big lizards around here.
True story:
A coaching buddy and his wife were out fishing on the banks of the Indian River (east coast of FL). Gator got his dog (Bruce) off the river bank. Buddy went into the water (chest deep) and pulled the dog out of the gators mouth while punching the s*** out of it's snout. Broke his hand. Gator "death rolled" with the dog's leg still in his mouth and tore the dogs leg off at the shoulder. The gators tail cracked friend's wife's knee cap in 1/2. She was in a cast and had rehab a long time. It was on the news a couple of years ago. He has all the news stories, interviews, eventual gator capture/killing on video tape. Follow up news reports on friend's, wife's and dogs injuries on tape too. It'll make you cry if you watch it. I would have never believed him if he had not shown me the tape. Met him after the fact.
Bruce (the dog) still digs holes in the back yard with only one front leg.
Saw on TV yesterday (nature show) a big tiger in India catch a big croc on the banks of a river (about 20-30 yards away from the water). Jumped on it's back and choked it out at the neck with it's teeth and jaws. Freeked me out! Never would have thought that would happen. Croc was not very mobile side to side. Tiger kept circling and darting in and out. It was an unbelievable fight. Tiger almost got cracked with that tail a few times.
