A backpacker in Australia got the fright of his life when a massive crocodile he was "teasing" suddenly exploded from the water and nearly sank its teeth into him.
The 16 foot-long saltwater crocodile came within an arm’s length of inflicting serious damage to the tourist, if not killing him. Novon Mashiah, 27, an Israeli backpacker, spotted the big crocodile during a fishing trip in the Northern Territory.
Determined to have a picture taken of himself with the crocodile, he posed while leaning out of the back of his fishing boat, pointing towards the predator.
"I began playing with it for a photo,'' Mr Mashiah said. "I was pointing at it when it suddenly jumped up at me - I didn't realise that crocs were so aggressive.''
The "saltie" – which experts believe probably approached the boat in search of a free feed of fish – propelled itself out of the water with terrifying speed. After narrowly missing its prey, it smashed into the side of the small metal boat before plunging back into the water.
"I was shocked - the animal clearly wanted to kill me,'' Mr Mashiah, from Tel Aviv, told the Northern Territory News.
"One minute I was leaning over the boat teasing it for a picture. The next minute it burst out of the water with incredible speed ... its jaws fully open. I was shaking,'' he said.
Mr Mashiah's friend and fishing companion, Doron Aviguy, 22, captured the near-fatal attack from a nearby boat.
The two men were working as fishermen after completing their national service in the Israeli army when they came face-to-face with the crocodile on Friday.

wow, crocs aggressive? Who would've thought? dumbass. Maybe if you weren't TEASING IT!!!!

I like how far he's jumped from the 3rd pic to the 4th pic. haha

lol dumbass!

There's no cure for stupid :)

I see a few reasons to label him a retard:

1. He decided to go fish in a tin can in waters that have at least 16 ft. long crocodiles in them.

2. He then decided to STAND in aforementioned tin can, and lean overboard TOWARDS the croc.

3. He then started TEASING it.

4. He was surprised that it was aggressive.

Yes there is the croc only missed,,,,

ammendment: just look at the SF zoo guys who teased the Lions

First order of business after that pic..........change of trousers ;-P

Ancient chinese proverb, "DO NOT KICK A SLEEPING TIGER!". Teasing a croc for a photo: priceless. The dumbass factor was very high that day. Croc should have ate him to help thin the gene pool.
