Brutus the 18 ft Crocodile

This is amazing.  I remember when I was in Disney World and we rode the Jaws boat and all of a sudden Jaws pops out of the water and scares you.  This reminds me of that but this is real.  Many people grace the waters of the croc infected Australian river.  Brutus is 18 feet long and weighs several thousand  pounds.  He is what they say is the oldest living crocodile in this river.  At a young 80 years old, Brutus didn't have a problem jumping out the water.  NT News photographer Katrina Bridgeford took this amazing photograph of Brutus, on the Adelaide River, just over 100km south of Darwin, last week. Good old Brutus is missing one leg from a shark fight but he still manages to find the strength to jump leaps and bounds... You got to love nature!
