Man risks life to feed crocodile on camera

A dare-devil cameraman narrowly avoided becoming dinner after a crocodile he was baiting on a remote Arnhem Land beach had a go at his video camera.

The footage, shot in East Arnhem Land, Australia, shows the man tempting the croc with meat left on the sand.

The saltie comes out of the water, has a go at the meat and then at the camera, knocking it over.

The hungry croc backs off and the cameraman returns, tempting the dangerous beast again with a fish. He has posted his exploit to YouTube complete with a soothing though geographically misplaced soundtrack of panpipes.
