Man, bitten after crocodile ride, goes back to pub

A MAN ejected from a pub in Australia broke into a zoo and climbed onto the back of a crocodile named Fatso, which bit him on the leg but then let him go.

Police said they are surprised the crocodile did not inflict worse damage.

The 36-year-old man, who police said had just been thrown out of a pub for being drunk, told officials he scaled the barbed wire fence surrounding the Broome Crocodile Park in remote north-west Australia because he wanted to give the 16-foot Fatso a pat.
