'Cage of Death' lets visitors come face-to-face with crocs at Australia's Crocodile Cove

Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin, Australia offers visitors the chance to come face-to-face with a crocodile in a "Cage of Death". Daredevils will be dropped more than 4m into a crocodile tank in the Cage of Death.

The Cage of Death is expected to be the main attraction at Australia's Crocosaurus Cove, reports Northern Territory News. Visitors to the reptile-themed park will be immersed underwater in a fibreglass cage, described as a "shark cage without bars", for 15 minutes.

One of the first to experience the Cage of Death was maintenance manager Jim Charles. "It was pretty scary," he said. "It was...amazing, a good adrenaline rush. You just feel the power when it [the crocodile] hits the cage. You wouldn't have a chance."

Crocosaurus Cove is thought to have the largest reptile collection in Australia; more than 100 crocodiles, 200 fish, 40 turtles and 76 snakes are housed in the park, which was due to open this week.
