SYDNEY - A crocodile handler known as the "Barefoot Bushman" was seriously hurt after being mauled by a massive creature while feeding it at an Australian wildlife park Thursday. "He said that it was a fully grown adult crocodile about 4.5 metres long so he is very lucky. A Bredl's Wild Farm spokeswoman said Bredl, whose family own the park, was in "good spirits" despite the attack. Crocodiles are common in Australia's tropical north. Bredl is widely known as the Barefoot Bushman due to his tendency to shun shoes even when dealing with crocodiles.
