'Sweetheart' is such a 5 metre croc, Pat, stuffed, in the Darwin museum. We
saw live 2-4 metre crocs, mostly females apparently who are bothered by
packs of ducks and slink off in the water. Mostly First Australian guides
in Kakadu who are knowledgable and good-humoured. One guy advised getting a
tetanus shot if croc-bit. All the germs in its saliva. 'They don't brush'
he says.
