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.
Eventually, after a brief but almighty struggle, the animal relented.
The 36-year-old woman suffered serious injuries and will have surgery in Darwin.
Her husband escaped unharmed.
Last week, police in the Northern Territory opened fire on a crocodile as it closed in on a drunken man who had accepted a dare to swim in dangerous waters.
woah ......
Woah brave man. Bravo!
And looks like he chose the right tactic to force the crocodile to release his wife
The men are suspiciously silent on this matter... Bo lang wants to answer your question!

nope.. because if one talks about it, the whole thing is cheapened or the impact is lost...
there is no need to talk about some things...
which is something a lot of people can never understand..
I was thinking the answer should be obvious..but since Rhonda wants to know:
no way in hell!! you think I suicidal issit?
hmmm dunno leh, see how it goes when the situation arises.
maybe at that time i'll think of the croc as the higher management, i'll maul the bugger.
Wow...what chivalry! The lady is lucky
I would. And it sure helps to find out on how to counter whatever dangers you may meet.
