YES, it’s real.
NT News photographer Katrina Bridgeford took this amazing front page photograph of Brutus, a 5.5m saltwater croc, giving a boatload of tourists a moment they’ll never forget on the Adelaide River, south of Darwin.
Ms Bridgeford was on the cruise with sons Jordan, 14, and Dylan Woodward, 11, of Sydney, NSW, four-year-old niece Skye Bridgeford and boyfriend Daniel Wilson.
Son Dylan had two words when the maneater rose out of the water in front of the group: ‘‘Holy crap!’’
The huge saltwater crocodile, which reportedly lost his right front leg in a shark attack, is a favourite with tourists on the Adelaide River Jumping Croc Cruises because he loves his meal of buffalo meat and always puts on a good show for it.
