Don't mess with this Granny

[TosaInu]

A 12 feet croc, wow. Something that paralyses any spectator with fear. What if everyone did? The guy would be dead. Granny broke the paralyse and attacked. The gun guy thought: 'oh, yes I should attack too'.

Perhaps she values the live of others more then her own? Recall that she saw a baby in danger. Perhaps there was neither courage nor intelligence nor stupidity, she just acted. And a good thing she did, she bought time and motivated the others to help.

GO GRANNY!

Well at 60, she might just have thought "my life for any other", especially a baby.

"The injured campers managed to set off a rescue beacon, capturing the attention of government wildlife officials in the area who were eradicating wild pigs."

Right.. "eradicating" eh? Probably putting them to fire and testing it's effect on kangaroos...

Bah, my Granny beat that Granny to the ground in no time. My Granny kills bulls with barehands! She can make Indonesian pirates blemish just by talking!

Sasaki Kojiro, that quote would be attributed to William Shakespeare from Julius Caesar.

JAG, this woman's reaction was the classic 'fight or flight' adrenalin rush. It probably was more of a sub-conscious act than one that was thought about.
It happened at 4am, still dark I assume, and came as a complete surprise, humans aren't used to being prey any more. I doubt they knew that those WildLife Officers were in the area, but thankfully they had the foresight to have a rescue beacon with them. Fortunately crocs are cold blooded, and are kind of sluggish till they bask in the heat of the sun to power up.
