CROC AND A VB CAN
TOURISTS come to the Far North to dive with Nemo, but it seems some locals are choosing to dive with crocodiles instead.
An Innisfail woman has been snapped happily swimming alongside what appears to be an unhealthy freshwater crocodile.
The woman, Shae Pasetti, is photographed holding a drink and smiling while swimming next to the comparatively small reptile.
“The VB made me do it,” she wrote after the photos were shared to popular Facebook site Innisfail News and Views.
Some commenters suggested the crocodile appeared to have suffered an injury to its jaw.
The post quickly attracted condemnation online with the Queensland Crocodile Conservation and Protection Society calling for Ms Pasetti to face penalties.
The Cairns Post’s attempts to speak to Ms Pasetti yesterday were unsuccessful.
