Thanks, Hec, for forcing me to bring this back to mind.
Excellent! The best work excursion I ever had was a dinner at the Autralian Reptile Park on the Central Coast. They had a similarly-proportioned salty (called Eric, IIRC) who had also lost a limb. In his case, it was bitten off by a female salty who wasn't in the mood. He reacted by killing all three females in his enclosure (which is when he was moved to the ARP).
That was also the occasion when I witnessed the epic showdown between actuarial stupidity and a Burmese python.
Did he kill the specific croc that turned him down? If so, was it first, last, or middle?
I have a narrative I need fact-checked.

Considering she bit off his leg, I'm guessing he turned his rage on to some smaller females. What an asshole crocodile!
. What an asshole crocodile!
They are kind of known for that.
Oh, my, GOD. You people are so judgmental. How DARE you be so humanormative?
Jesus.
Megafauna kind of creeps me out too. Except for mega-sloths. I think they would be like Aunt Beast from A Wrinkle in Time.

OMG, they're totally the worst. Like, worse than the crocs. This is why I don't understand my reflexes.
Entirely unrelated, I really want to cosplay movie/Ultimates Nick Fury. Like, more than any cosplay urge I've had in a while. That would be
so
cool.
