The large reptiles found in the tropical regions of Africa, Asia, America and Australia can appear as one of the scariest beings on the planet. We are talking about the Crocodiles! They say, you stare into the jaws of a crocodile and it might be the last thing you see. Their daunting jaws can snap our bones in no time. The nearby residents where these aggressive reptiles live in lakes and rivers are forbidden to cross the boundaries. Parts of Australia have always made headlines on croc attacks causing terror among everyone. That is why, it has become very important to instruct and adopt safety measures to its residents.
The protection efforts are taken well. But some human beings can never fall short of taking things little too seriously. Recently, a 3.92 metre saltwater crocodile was trapped at the Nitmiluk National Park in the northern territory of Australia. The crocodile was then taken to Katherine South Primary School to teach students about crocodile safety. Yes in an incident of taking things too literally, a crocodile- to deliver croc safety measures. The incident has been reported by ABC Darwin and this is what Twitterati has to say.
Duh!
“We brought this crocodile to school, to teach you all: stay away from crocodiles!” 🤦♂️ https://t.co/AyJ4CG0zQH

Because there is no better way.
That’s a serious “show and tell”. https://t.co/fjyQVD5nEr

Look how awesome it is!
“Here is something awesome. Do not under any circumstances go looking for any more of these awesome and extremely cool creatures. Which are awesome. You should avoid them. Which is why we brought it here to show you how awesome it is.” https://t.co/F0kJqqnSKP

So, the concept is not new?
That was one of my key memories from my primary school days in Darwin - the crocodile show and tell at school in grade six. https://t.co/n05wGUhg7j

A straightforward way.
Kinda blunt way of educating the kiddies https://t.co/Mvri4aqvTm

You trap a crocodile so that people are safe, you don’t unleash them to any better place (because it’s an animal) and take it on a ride—to teach Croc Safety! Well, may be children will understand better if a trapped crocodile explains.
