Elvis, who lives at the Australian Reptile Park (1) Sydney, attacked the mower, grabbing it from keeper Billy Collett. Pulling it under water, the five-metre saltwater crocodile “drowned” the machine. He then sat and watched his catch (2) an hour in his enclosure.
“(3) he was sure he had got it, he just sat there and guarded it,” said operations manager Tim Faulkner. “It was his prize, his trophy.” That, he (4) the BBC, was fairly typical crocodile behaviour.
But Elvis, who is (5) of the largest crocodiles in New South Wales, also likes his meat. While the keeper lured Elvis to the other end of the pool with kangaroo meat, Mr Faulkner (6) jump in, retrieve the badly chewed up mower and two teeth that Elvis (7) in the process.
Elvis is thought to be around 50 years old and has (8) a crazy croc. He was attacking fishing boats in Darwin harbour when he (9) , his keeper said. Visitors (10) watch him being fed on weekends and holidays - but may not get to see him munching on a mower again any time soon.
