andycoll Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I've eaten what I know was crocodile in Australia where it tasted a bit like chicken. Just recently I had some crocodile in Vietnam where it tasted exactly like pork. I think they were taking advantage of the foreigner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(AP Photo/Mark Thiessen, File)More Skip Ad By The Associated Press The Associated Press JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — A court services officer with the Alaska State Troopers died Tuesday after being attacked by a muskox outside his home near Nome, the agency said. Curtis Worland was trying to scare away a group of muskox from near a dog kennel at his home when one of the animals attacked him, according to a statement from the troopers that said Worland was declared dead at the scene. Court services officers are law enforcement officers that provide prisoner transport services, courthouse security and court document service, troopers spokesperson Austin McDaniel said. He could not immediately say how many animals were part of the group that Worland was trying to keep away. The Alaska State Troopers, Alaska Wildlife Troopers and state Department of Fish and Game are investigating. Muskoxen are stocky, long-haired animals with slight shoulder humps and horns and can weigh up to 800 pounds (363 kilograms), according to the fish and game department. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarus Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 A big one. Back in the 1990s, when I was a river guide in the Northern Rockies (US), we'd occasionally catch rattlers. Had to move them away from camp...never saw one this big though. Short fat ones... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bear had chased residents after entering the western Alaska town of Wales before attacking the woman and boy, an Alaska State Troopers dispatch report said. The bear was shot and killed by another resident as it attacked the two victims, according to the report. “Troopers and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game are working to travel to Wales as weather conditions allow,” the report said. Wales is on the coast of western Alaska and has a population of 168, according to the US Census. The identities of the victims were not immediately released as next of kin were still being notified, police said. . . .
