Elvis, a Saltwater Crocodile at the Australian Reptile Park, decided that he didn't want his grass cut one day. And really, once an 1100-pound animal decides what it wants, very little can be done to change his mind.

"Before we knew it, the croc had the mower above his head," Mr Faulkner said. "He got his jaws around the top of the mower and picked it up and took it underwater with him."
The workers quickly left the enclosure. Elvis, meanwhile, showed no signs of relinquishing his new toy and sat guarding it closely all morning.

Eventually, Mr Faulkner realised he had no other choice but to go back in after the mower.

Mr Collett lured Elvis to the opposite end of the lagoon with a heaping helping of kangaroo meat while Mr Faulkner plunged, fully clothed, into the water. Before grabbing the mower, however, he had to search the bottom of the lagoon for two 3-inch teeth Elvis lost during the encounter. He quickly found them and escaped from the pool, unharmed and with mower in tow.

Recently an Australian family had an unwanted house guest. A 1.7-metre (around 5.5 foot) Saltwater Crocodile was lounging in their living room!

Jo Dodd said she was first alerted to the reptilian intruder by the frantic barking of their family dog.

"We opened the door to our bed-room and looked into our lounge-room area and there was a crocodile," Dodd said.

"It was the most freakiest thing - you don't usually see a crocodile in your lounge room. It was really a very surreal moment."

This croc was a wee baby; they can easily grow larger than 7 meters.
