Man fights off crocodile with a frying pan in Australia<br />A fearless pub owner who fought off a rampaging crocodile by banging it over the head with a frying pan, said the animal needed a 'good lesson'.<br /><br />The wild moment was captured on camera at the Goat Island lodge in the Northern Territory with Kai Hansen refusing to back down from the charging 2.5m reptile.<br />Two strikes on the nose was enough for the trouble-making croc to turn around and race back to the water.<br /><br />'I wouldn't say it's an everyday event, but I've got to stay safe and do what I can,' Mr Hansen told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday.<br /><br />'No one got hurt and the croc got a good lesson.'<br /><br />The rugged outdoorsman said the confrontation began when the beast wandered too close to the iconic venue and became aggressive.<br /><br />He ventured down to the river to make sure the path was safe for visitors, arming himself with a heavy-bottom saucepan.<br /><br />It's not the first run-in Mr Hansen has had with a charging saltie.<br /><br />Back in 2018 his pet dog, Dumb Blonde, was eating by a three-meter monster on the Adelaide River.<br /><br />Despite the heartbreak and ongoing dangers posed by the animals, Hansen said he's not scared.<br />'When you're driving along in a car and all of a sudden a dog is right in front of you, are you scared, no, you just do what you have to do,' he said.<br /><br />'You just work by instinct.'<br /><br />Reaction from commenters on social media was divided with some cheering on the bravery of Mr Hansen and others claiming he was taking a severe and unnecessary risk. <br /><br />'That Gator understood the assignment. He was gonna be in that frying pan and that's why he went back to that water,' one American joked.<br />Another was skeptical of the choice of weapon, warning: 'I have seen the teeth marks on oars that have been used to deter cranky crocs.'<br /><br />A third called Mr Hansen 'out of control' and a 'very different unit'. <br /><br />Others said they felt sorry for the croc.<br /><br />'If you're dumb enough to hang by croc infested lands and something happens... I can hardly blame the croc,' one person commented.<br />SUBSCRIBE 4 MORE https://6ixworldnews.blogspot.com/ TWITTER @6IXWORLDNEWS<br />https://www.reddit.com/r/6IXWORLDNEWS/
