A massive ant-poisoning effort by the Australian government has put a
dent in the Yellow Crazy Ant population on Christmas Island. This
slaughter has allowed Abbott's booby, a critically endangered species,
to make a comeback.
And South of Darwin, Australia, a crocodile, annoyed by the sound of a
chainsaw, attacked as follows: "He's been a bit upset with the noise,
so he comes shooting out of the pond, runs up the tree and tries to
grab Freddy the Chain saw man...So he missed Freddy and grabbed his
chain saw instead." In his ninety minute fight with the chainsaw, the
14.5 foot long croc lost a few teeth.
The whole of Darwin was amused, no doubt.
