Ok this didn’t happen in the Territory , but Elvis the crocodile is originally a NT born and bred crocodile. He was trapped in the Darwin Harbor few years ago (because he was climbing into fishing boats !) and sent to a Sydney wildlife park.
Elvis has a reputation for being one of the grumpiest old crocs in Australia.After he was caught in the Darwin Harbor he was sent to a croc farm where he ate 2 female crocs. This was when they decided to send him down south 😉
This video displays Elvis’s famous temper – he wanted that lawnmower and wasn’t letting go ! Also check out the size of those teeth !
It took the zoo keepers a couple of hours and a whole heap of kangaroo meat before they could retrieve the mower. I personally wouldn’t get in the pen with him whether he was distracted or not – this boy is 5 meters long and weighs half a tonne.
In fairness, it should be added that after this video cut off, the crocodile did mow the lawn and trim the neighbor’s front property as well.
Shh we don’t want people to know – this guy has a rep to protect 😉 on another note , maybe you could ask if you can borrow him to keep that monkey of yours in line !!!
I suppose my fear of crocodiles is well-founded. Yikes! Now, I’m even more scared!
Hugs,

Its a very healthy fear to have !
