What? Nobody is talking about what an idiot the Crocodile Hunter is?

true libertarians think that babies and crocs should fend for themselves.

Aside from the Croc the other concern which any parent would have picked up from the footage is the way he handled the one month old baby. The way he jiggled it around, making it pretend to run etc. could cause brain injury. You need to keep their head stable and still at all times. He didn't support the baby's head at all.

Having a baby out the tropical sun could have caused dehydration or heat stress. I was stunned by that - you'd never catch me with a child out in that tropical heat.

All in all, a really unbelievable performance from a "devoted father" with the experience of one child already. This guy would do anything for publicity, even put his own baby son at risk.

Sorry, wrong again - a saltwater croc can outrun anything in a short burst on land. They are ambush predators. Consider this chilling little factoid.

You may want to note that what you quoted is generally not considered running. Besides, Philips did not specify which database mentioned that, so we could not look up any specifics even if we wanted to.

It made for good rating, but completely useless for any serious discussions.

Note how Horsie shifted his angle of attack.

It was an attack? Ban him!

Horsie is providing complementary evidence to the ineptitude of Irwin as a father.

Everyone else is too busy noting your lack of "angle of attack". As usual, you post a rather inane "troll" and subsequent posts are filled with nothing but hot air, until you begin ignoring the thread a post or two later.

Nice, polite personal attack Asher.
A tactful way to force UR to wait for MtG

I figure if UR can say I have a small **** and not get in trouble, what I said is absolutely legit.

Don't know that much about crocs.....but they do go for live food yes? That would mean live wiggeling food? Couldn't that baby be perceived as food to the croc? They don't know the difference again WILD being the operative word here. I mean really how much difference is there between the size of a good sized wiggleing chicken or turkey and a 1 month old wiggeling baby.

For shame Mr. Irwin

[ravagon]

Mmm? From what I saw of the footage they weren't exactly presented to the croc as equal opportunity alternatives.

It didn't look terribly dangerous and I'm sure the clod would've thrown himself in the crocs way had he slipped or somesuch, but it was a rather poorly planned publicity stunt all the same.
