Australian man survives crocodile attack by biting reptile’s eyelid
‘It was pretty thick, like holding onto leather, but I jerked back on his eyelid and he let go’
An Australian farmer bit a saltwater crocodile on the eyelid to save himself from being killed by the reptile.
Cattle herder Colin Deveraux was attacked by a 3.2-metre-long crocodile while he was on his way to put up some fencing near the Finniss River in Northern Territory last month.
The farmer, who was described as being a “veteran” in his sixties by public broadcaster ABC, had stopped by a lake when he noticed fish swimming in the middle of its receded water. As he began to step away a crocodile "latched" onto his right foot, he said.

I'm impressed by my man's flexibility. The croc bit his foot, which means to bite the croc's eyelid he had to have gotten his mouth somewhere in the vicinity of his own foot.
