gosford, australia, handlers are inside elvis the crocodile's enclosure doing routine lawn maintenance when the 50-year-old reptile bites the front of the mower. >> let it go, let it go, let it go! >> and does not let go. operations manager tim faulkner has worked with this crocodile at the park since 2007. >> elvis has given me a hard time on a number of occasions. to a crocodile, the rumble of that mower, it's something that just turns them on. they have all of these sensitive receptors around their jaw, good hearing, eyesight. that rumble of the mower can trigger him. >> it triggers him all right. like the real elvis, this croc is interested in a little less conversation and a lot more action. >> a wheel got caught at the base of that tree which gave elvis that split second to grab it. and i went slightly this way to about here and then started to come across very slowly, happens a lot slower than you think.
