Default Bitten by Snakes or Snapping Turtles while Swimming?

How many people a year down there die to snakes, and crocks ?

Snakes? About one every few years in spite of the fact that we have
the deadliest species on the planet and the greatest number of
venomous species.


Crocs? Maybe one or two a year. Some people are stupid enough to swim,
or play, where the croc can get at them. Crocs are extremely fast on
land ... for a very short distance.


Don't forget the sharks...

I have no doubt there are many folks envious of you & your sharks...

No evidence has been found that a shark was responsible for the
disappearance of Harold Holt. The waters where he was swimming are
renowned for being unpredictable and it is quite possible that he was
simply pulled under by a current, drowned and lodged under a rock.

Of course I believe that all our politicians should go swimming at
that beach at least once during their political career. If only one
percent disappeared it would improve the quality considerably.
