MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Northern Territory cattle producer Colin Deveraux knows he is lucky to be alive after being attacked by a 3.2-metre saltwater crocodile.
He stopped at a billabong after noticing fish swimming in the middle of the retreating waterway.
Mr Deveraux, who is aged in his mid-60s, said he tried kicking the crocodile in the ribs with his left foot and then tried biting the animal back.
Mr Deveraux said he got a towel and some rope to strap up his leg and stop the bleeding.
His brother then drove him 130 kilometres to hospital where Mr Deveraux has been receiving treatment for his wound ever since.
He received a skin graft earlier this month and said he could feel his toes, and doctors were hopeful he could walk out of hospital this week.
The original article contains 319 words, the summary contains 125 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
You really should have included the crucial bit about how he bit the croc on its eyelid, which it really didn't like. I know you are not a very smart bot, so I'll forgive you.
