Danger of Death!

2013 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

we are all a bit stupid when younger but this is really really braindead and his genes won't be missed at all.

a 24 year at a party in the Northern Territory in Australia decided to swim in the Mary River even though it is well-known as the haunt of big saltwater crocs--apex predators, infamous maneaters- and even though there are warning signs all over. He was seen by the others with him being taken by a 15 foot crocodle--that isn't the biggest but is still huge and extremely powerful--that swam away with him as easy as a big dog would carry a small stick. I don't think his body has been found but he is certainly dead as.

Maybe he just couldn't read the warning signs saying something like" Massive deadly saltwater crocs live in this river and if you enter the water or even go near you have a ghood chance of being killed and eaten by one of the world's top predators"? or maybe they were so stupid--as their behaviour seems to indicate--that they couldn't understand what the picture of the cros with big teeth and wide open jaws meant?

The only sad thing about this is the police shot a large croc in the area afterwards. Same old story: a human is stupid and it gets them killed when a wild animal does what's natural but the animal is then also killed (even worse is that they don't even know if it's the killer cros.they probably just shot the first big one they saw)
