CROCODILE CAVE DIVING PENSIONER
THIS DANGER-mad female pensioner could be the oldest Brit to cage dive with CROCODILES. Retired-teacher Janet Martyn, 73, was pictured in her swimming costume and goggles being lowered into a pond with three potentially lethal Nile crocodiles. While brave Janet, from Walthamstow, East London, was getting her bearings in the water the toothy 12-foot-long crocs, Hannibal, Marbaker and Sue, began circling her before closing in. But Janet has volunteered at the croc’s home at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in South Africa for the past seven-years, So rather than trying to bite her elderly-pal, grinning reptile Sue decided to nuzzle the bars of Janet’s cage like a puppy-dog
