Without the cage you wouldn't stand a chance swimming with a massive saltwater crocodile.

But for brave punters who still want to get cosy with a feisty croc, a new Australian tourist attraction is offering the chance for a close encounter in the safety of a clear acrylic box dubbed the 'cage of death'.

Part of me wants to do this.  The other part makes me wonder if it bothers the crocodile.  What do you guys think?  Leave a comment and tell me!

    Also, crocodiles aren't even friendly. If I were to swim with a wild
    animal, I'd choose a manatee or a dolphin. You know, an animal that
    might actually enjoy interacting with me (without eating me).
