Coccodrillo vs rasaerba
Giustamente infastidito dal rumoroso rasaerba di un rettilario australiano, il 50-enne coccodrillo Elvis l'ha strappato dalle mani di un addetto e annegato nella sua pozza, dove lo ha tenuto in ostaggio per un'ora prima che gli uomini lo distraessero con della carne di canguro per poter recuperare l'infernale oggetto, che finalmente non funzionerà mai più. Elvis, che ha perso due denti nella lotta, è un sempre stato un cocco aggressivo: attaccava barche da pesca prima di essere catturato e dopo si è mangiato due sue fidanzate. Video sulla Bbc


Australian crocodile Elvis steals lawnmower. An Australian crocodile reacted badly when a noisy lawnmower invaded his space - he stole it, forcing keepers to make a daring rescue. Elvis, who lives at the Australian Reptile Park, lunged at the mower, grabbing it from operations manager Tim Faulkner and keeper Billy Collett. Pulling it under water, the five-metre saltwater crocodile "drowned" the machine at the park near Sydney. He then sat and watched his catch for more than an hour in his enclosure [...] While the keeper lured Elvis to the other end of the enclosure with an offering of kangaroo meat, Mr Faulkner was able to jump in, retrieve the badly chewed up mower and two teeth that Elvis had lost in the process. ''He has extraordinarily large teeth - much bigger than most crocodiles,'' added Mr Faulkner. ''He punched his teeth through the top casing of the mower''. Elvis, who was captured in the wild and is thought to be around 50 years old, has always been a cranky croc. He was attacking fishing boats in Darwin harbour when he was caught, his keeper said. At the crocodile farm he was first brought to after being caught, he ate two of his girlfriends [...] The mower was fortunate to have escaped then. But it will never work another day. As for Mr Faulkner, it was all in a day's work... Video on Bbc
