Croc bites teen 'dared' to jump into river


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

A teenager attacked by a crocodile after jumping into a north Queensland river on a dare from friends is lucky to still have his arm, paramedics say.

Innisfail's Lee de Paauw was grabbed on the left arm by a crocodile as he was climbing out of the Johnstone River on Fitzgerald Esplanade about 2:30am on Saturday.

The 18-year-old managed to punch it with his right arm and escape.

I put the blame squarely on the parents for raising such a stupid and gullible child. No excuse for such stupidity regardless of age or gender.

However I am not totally cold-hearted and I really am glad to hear he escaped with his limbs still intact.

Glad the boy is okay, and I hope this shows him just how stupid his actions were.  Messing with a wild animal is never okay.

I hope this shows him he needs different friends.  They are idiots, too

He'll think twice doing that again.

He is lucky to not have been deathrolled by the croc. Punching back will give him a tale to tell for a long time. Not many would have done that.

Well he's showing no remorse whatsoever. You'll need to scroll down the article page to see him -
