Crocodile Lunch
"Say, can I give you a hand with your luggage? Or is my hand already in your luggage?"
Saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), taken in Borneo in 1997

The Urban Legend (not a true story) behind these photos is:

This picture was taken at the "Breakers Golf Course" in Palm Beach County, FL in June, 1998. As the story goes, the first foursome of the day played together to the 5th hole where one impatient golfer went ahead of the group. The remaining three, thinking that the impatient golfer finished without them and was waiting at the nineteenth hole, wasn't concerned with his absence. After waiting 2 hours for his return and his car still in the parking lot the threesome notified the club and the search was on. Of course the impatient golfer was not located but his clubs were found on the seventh hole.

Three days later, Ole Moose was spotted on the seventh hole and was an immediate suspect. Ole Moose was an American Croc. that was an infrequent course visitor for over 20 years. Not too much concern was ever given Ole Moose whom had always made a hasty retreat whenever he saw anyone coming.

To make a long story even longer, after the course officials, SPCA, lawyers, citizens groups, Mayor, Palm Beach PD and the American Crocodile Association of So. Fl. got together it was decided that to put everyone's mind at ease, Ole Moose should be unzipped. The above picture is the result.
