@jack-dodds He would not be the first. After I saw the video I found the account of Mr. Henry.
Born in the Okavango Delta in Botswana, Henry the Nile Crocodile, gained a reputation of being a man-eater, terrorizing local tribespeople and eating several men and children. One of the tribes solicited the services of an elephant hunter known as Sir Henry, who the crocodile is named after, to kill him.
Instead, after capturing Henry in 1903, he was sentenced to a lifetime in captivity.
Henry currently lives at the Crocworld Conservation Centre in Scottburgh, Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa, where the caretakers and visitors celebrate his birthday with style, handing out free cupcakes and providing fun entertainment such as dancing and face painting.
we are all better beings for having met your friend Tony......I pondered thru a sleepless night,and am still at a loss on the Shoeless Henry caper
I seem to recall this pic from the police murder file in which the cobbler's abusive son-in-law had suspiciously vanished. When detectives called around to the suspect old cobbler's daughter's trailer they found it wide open and saw no sign of him or her and the kids; other than a cobbling tool lying in the sand. Given that this was his recent residence they staked it out for weeks but saw no activity whatsoever; it seemed abandoned. Knowing that Henry lurked in the nearby pond cops eventually wrote the cobbler off as another meal for Old Henry and closed the book on their case.
