65-year-old Man decided to ride his massive pet crocodile
A 65-year-old man from Queensland, who likes nothing better than to hitch a ride on crocodiles' backs, is giving even the crocodile hunter a run for his money.
Rob Bredl, coined 'The Barefoot Bushman,' because he has the habit of getting around barefoot, both at home and in the bush, even if he is out catching crocodiles.
He has been bitten more than 40 times by crocodiles and venomous snakes but won't stop 'playing' with his 800-kilo croc named Brian. Bredl owns eight adult crocs and 40 juvenile, many up to 15 feet in length.
Rob believes, that it is nearly impossible to starve in the Australian Wilderness.
The variety of edible things in nature are by far more, of what can be found in a supermarket. And anyone who can overcome the own barrier of repulse, will discover how tasty snakes, bushrats and fish guts really are.
The family of reptiles and the Bushman live on a 175-acre farm in Airlie Beach in the Whitsunday's region of Queensland and are part of a conservation program lead by Bredl.
As well as breeding the crocodile, Bredle has opened up his home to the public to watch and learn about vicious reptile, he's lovingly nicknamed 'salties.'
Bredl is well known for his antics with crocodiles, which include sitting on their backs, and enticing them to the water's edge and grabbing them out of the water head first.
Alongside 'salties' the farm is home to emus, koalas, wallabies, snakes, birds and a range of other reptiles.
To begin with, he puts his hand in the water to entice the crocs over, Bredl then taps the water with a stick to get them more interested.
Despite the theatrical wrestling seen on the farm, Bredl has no illusions about how dangerous the animals can be.
