Queensland, Australia farmer David George, 53, scaled a tree to escape threatening crocodiles and ended up spending seven nights there. Injured and dazed after falling off his horse in the outback, George didn't realize that the animal had brought him deep into a swamp. From BBC News:
Mr George, manager of the Silver Plains cattle station near Coen in Queensland's far north, said he was stalked each night by two crocodiles that would sit at the bottom of the tree staring at him.
"All I could see was two sets of red eyes below me and all night I had to listen to a big bull croc bellowing a bit further out," he said.
Although Mr George's two sandwiches ran out after three days, he was able to get running water during the day and knew rescuers were looking for him as he could see helicopters in the air above his tree.
