BBC News
Fantastic story - 4m long croc, dragged a guy from his tent in the middle of the night, one of the other campers a 60 year old woman wrestles the croc which is then shot by the womans husband.
The idea of being dragged out of a tent by a 4m long prehistoric beast sounds like something straight out of Jurrasic Park!
Does anyone know the name of the heroine? Ah here we go
Herald Sun - Alicia Sorohan
She deserves a medal.

"The croc was attacking him, and he was screaming, 'Get the baby, get the baby.' The croc had Andrew by the legs and was dragging him out of the tent."
- Diane Kerr, wife of Andrew Kerr first victim.
No one died - but it sounds as though it was a close thing!
Mr Kerr was already badly mauled. One of his legs was smashed and mangled and his body was grotesquely punctured and lacerated. "There were bits hanging off him,"
Becareful when camping in Australia - there are an estimate 100,000 of these saltwater crocs.
