shygye Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 Link Authorities at Khao Yai National Park have given a stern warning to tourists, ordering them to stop taunting the park’s pair of two-meter-long crocodiles. ... ... Many tourists stop to try and spot the crocodiles. Often, if the creatures can’t be spotted, tourists dangle their feet into the pond to try and attract them. Others use sticks to hit the water to get the attention of the crocodiles before running away when they approach. Some foolhardy visitors wait for the crocodiles to approach, then hit them on the head with a stick before fleeing for their lives, Mr Manot said. ...

Nervous God Posted July 10, 2010 Report Share Posted July 10, 2010 I think the problem will resolve it self . . . . one day. And when it does we can only hope the head tappers haven't breed yet, better for the gene pool to cull them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robaus Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Looks like croc head tapping has gone viral :-) Last night in Broome, Western Australia another candidate for the Darwin Awards tried to sit on the back of an 800kg salty. "A 36-year-old man is extremely lucky not to have died after being bitten as he swam with a crocodile in Broome overnight. The man scaled a fence and climbed into the crocodile enclosure at Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park after being ejected from the pub next door for being drunk. He escaped with lacerations to his right leg. The man told police he wanted to sit on the back of Fatso, a five metre saltwater crocodile, and touch him." read more...
