Australian ‘a bit sore’ after hand was caught in croc’s jaws

In this image made from a video, Australian wildlife tour operator Sean Dearly is interviewed in Darwin, Australia Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2021. Dearly said he was lucky to escape more serious injury or even death when a crocodile lunged from a river and clamped his hand in its jaws. Dearly was attacked on Monday on the Adelaide River which is renowned for its “jumping crocodiles,” large crocodiles that rise vertically from the water to snatch chicken carcasses dangled from long poles extended from tourist cruise boats.
