WHEN there's two people and one hungry croc, it's best to offer the other person up for dinner while you run away.
That was Darwin resident Anushka Smith's five-year-old niece's plan as the pair photographed a two-and-a-half metre croc at Buffalo Creek this week.

Mr Smith photographed the croc on Tuesday, about 300m from the boat ramp.
"There was a lot of people around fishing, but I was down there to photograph shorebirds," he said.
"My five-year-old niece loved it. Her theory was to hide behind me."
The pair were about 50m away when they took pictures.
"I grew up in Darwin and so I'm used to the fact that crocs are around," he said.
