What happened?
In a shocking incident, Australian farmer Colin Deveraux repelled a crocodile attack by biting back at the crocodile, according to a report by ABC News. Colin told ABC News that he is lucky to be alive after being bitten by the 3.2m (10ft) saltwater crocodile in Australia's Northern territory.
Where and when?
The incident happened in October when he stopped at a lake while travelling in the area as he was building fences near the Finniss River.
Why?
Colin bit the crocodile's eyelid as he struggled to survive.
How?
He stood by the lake and was noticing the fish swimming in the middle when all of a sudden, a crocodile "latched" onto his right foot. He told the news agency that the crocodile shook him like a ¡°rag doll¡± while pulling him into the water.

Colin applied some first aid by using a towel and some rope to stop the bleeding in his leg. His brother then drove him to the Royal Darwin Hospital, almost 130 kms away.

Crocodiles are protected by local government laws in Australia's Northern Territory. These animals are considered to be of huge scientific and human interest and are a major tourist attraction. Australia reported a fatal crocodile attack in April on the Kennedy River in Cape York Peninsula, Queensland.
