That guy has bigger balls than me. As far as I'm concerned if you are in the water and see that, you run away as fast as you can (screaming like a girl optional, but recommended).

Wonder if its a pet one?

It's surely a freshie, not a saltie. They're very different beasts in their attitude to humans; the voice of the Attenborough is telling me that attacks by freshies are rare and provoked.

 

Perhaps someone living down under can corroborate/correct me

I wouldn't even try that with my old Jack Russell.

There’s a pond in The Gambia, West Africa, which is infested with the buggers. The locals encourage tourists in to stroke the more placid one’s in order to fleece them. One or two of them would be 12 to 14 foot long and a good 3 foot wide and probably weigh more than a ton. They get that size by scoffing monkeys as there’s not enough fish in the pond. So although I’ve watched others touching them and even one idiot on the back of another, I’ve always had a healthy respect for the buggers.
