Thread: SNake vs. crocodile - who would you back?

That appears to be a water python Liasis fuscus but what it is incredible is the size of it. The average size is about 2 meters long.

on that link the lady said that this incident will not stop her swimming in that lake in the future

the fact that there are crocodiles in that lake should be what stops her from swimming, especially if they are Salties.

Small crocs mean that there are bigger ones around.

I saw a different shot and link to this on my Facebook page.

I thought it looked like an Olive Python, and they can grow to over 3 metres.

They are the Johnstone River variety or freshwater crocodile John. No salties that far up the Leichhardt River.

There is an excellent close images HERE

there is a real excellent video doing the rounds--I saw it on Facebook, that shows a large Cayman [or alligator or crocadile] on a mud bank with a pair of fury ears swimming towards it.

I though here comes dinner for that Croc when first watching this clip. but what happened is very surprising, something I did not expect at all.

You should find this on Youtube, it is a very worthwhile watch for nature lovers.

I assumed the freshy would win, so I was surprised at the success of the snake.
I still wouldn't swim in there, even if they are only freshys. That snake is enough to put me off.
