That’s not a crocodile!

Drinkers at an Outback watering hole may have wondered if perhaps they’d had one too many when they were greeted by a crocodile at the pub’s door.

But being good hosts, they did the only polite thing and invited him inside. Patrons taped up its mouth, held it up for a round of photos, then put it in a box near the bar. The saltwater croc was less than a metre long and more a curiosity than a threat to drinkers at the Noonamah Tavern on Sunday.

The aggressive hunters can grow to nearly five metres and have been known to attack people.

Barmaid Sarah Sparre said Thursday that three patrons spotted the creature outside the pub, grabbed it and brought it inside. (news)
