A fisher experienced the shock of a lifetime when a large crocodile launched itself onto his boat with its jaws wide open in Australia.
The incident occurred at Jane Creek — a stream northeast of Mackay in Queensland — on the morning of Dec. 31, 2023. The man was identified by ABC News as 45-year-old Richard Brookman, a local who has fished at this creek for decades. He had been on the water for around four hours when, at 10 a.m. local time, he spotted a crocodile swimming toward his small aluminum boat, or tinnie.
