New Delhi: An Australian pub owner, Kai Hansen was caught on camera swatting a crocodile on the head with a frying pan. The video is going on viral on social media and has left people shocked. The incident occurred at Goat Island Lodge, a remote establishment located on an island on the Adelaide River.
In the video, Hasen is seen climbing down a staircase with a frying pan in hand while there is a crocodile on the ground. The crocodile charged toward him but Hansen hits it with a frying pan, when it continued to charge back Hansen swatted it even harder on the head. Suddenly, the crocodile turns around and runs back.
The video was originally shared by Airborne Solutions Helicopter Tours’ Facebook page with the caption: "Goat Island isn't your typical bar and King Kai isn't your typical publican! You simply never understand what he'll serve up straight away."
The video has over 2.3 million views, 5.5k comments and 7.4k likes. A user wrote, “Gotta learn to carry a frying pan in my weapons arsenal, it looks handy.” Another user jokingly wrote, “That gator turned so quick his head is probably still ringing.” “Not a fry pan, it's a crock pot”, said the third.
Hansen’s experiences with crocodiles are notable, as per Newsweek. He used to own a dog called Pippa who used to bark at the crocodiles and frighten them back into the water. However, one day a crocodile whom he referred to as Casey caught the dog and killed her.
