Man wrestles croc to rescue wife

[Mugu]

By Phil Mercer, BBC News, Sydney

A woman has been rescued from the jaws of a saltwater crocodile in Australia after her husband jumped onto its back and forced it to flee.

The attack took place in the Litchfield National Park near Darwin in Australia's Northern Territory.

The crocodile lunged at its victim as she stood on the banks of a river, locking its jaws around her legs before trying to drag her into the water.

Police have said the heroism of her husband almost certainly saved her. He leapt onto the large reptile's back, gouging at its eyes with his fingers trying to free his wife.

4. "Take my wife"

"Please"

Kidding aside, my ex would've kicked that croc's ass.

I would've just kept on with that fried chicken.

Oh, yeah, fuck all the creeps on that other site. I heard that their mommies had re-warmed their pablum.

I just wish that they would post some more recent pics.
