"Australian Fisherman's Close Encounter with Leaping Crocodile"
In Queensland, Australia, a fisherman named Richard Brookman experienced a harrowing encounter when a large crocodile leaped onto his boat with its jaws open. The incident occurred on New Year's Eve while he was fishing in a creek. Brookman managed to evade the crocodile, which eventually fell overboard, but not before causing damage to the boat. This event has prompted local authorities to warn the public and consider removing the crocodile if it poses a threat. Crocodile sightings in the region are taken seriously due to the history of both fatal and non-fatal attacks.
