This shovel-headed croc was hanging around the weed like a skateboarder at a pot party. Every so often I'd see him chasing fish, but for a whole morning I couldn't get him on.

He went back in to do pike stuff, like eating ducklings and withdrawing from events at late notice and without giving concrete reasons.
