June 14, 2007: guy dresses as croc to study them



xoxoxoBruce forwards this Daily Mail article which explains that the gentleman above, Dr. Brady Barr, clearly insane, has built this croc-like-box to study a group of Nile crocs.

Quote:
The zoologist adopted his bizarre outfit in the hope of getting closer to a colony of Nile crocodiles, which can grow up to 20ft.

His disguise was a prosthetic head attached to the front of a protective metal cage covered with canvas and a generous plastering of hippo dung to mask his human scent.

It was 13ft long - average Nile size. The head was made of glass fibre, while the frame of the body was aluminium covered with a sheet of Kevlar body armour.
