An opportunistic apex predator, the Australian salt water crocodile was hunted extensively until the 1970s when a law was passed to protect it, enabling the population to thrive once more. At nearly 6 meters in length, Sweetheart was the most famous of them all. Known for terrorizing fishermen in their boats, he had a curious penchant for attacking outboard motor propellers. In 1979 he accidentally drowned by getting tangled in a net as he was reconnoitering. His stuffed remains are preserved in the Museum and Art Gallery of the Northern Territory in Darwin. This nutcracker is inspired by a late-Victorian model and is a tribute to Australian wildlife.
