Croc attack:  An angry crocodile called Brutus didn't like the sound a chainsaw was making and attacked it. The 4.4-metre long croc lives in a crocodile enclosure at Corroboree Park Tavern near Darwin in northern Australia. A man wielding a chainsaw was cleaning up debris that had fallen against the enclosure when Brutus attacked. Neither Brutus nor the man with the chainsaw was injured, but the chainsaw was destroyed.

"He grabbed the chainsaw out of his hands, and then he chewed on it for about half an hour," said tavern owner Peter Shappert. By the time they got it away from Brutus's giant jaws, it was a goner.
