Crocodiles

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in with his welcome grin
He's imaging how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile,
etc., etc., with regards to Walt Disney

Caballero beat me to it.

Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots ot etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette

Freshwater crocodiles aren't known as being man eaters, but give them a wide berth just the same, they will bite in self-defence. I saw some at Katherine Gorge, they were quite small compared to saltwater crocs. Best advice is heed the warning signs and stay out of the crocodiles' way.

Here is a summary of the “croc-wise” guidelines issued by the Queensland state government - Precautions to take in crocodile country.

SHOPKEEPER: Ok. Where is it?
