Passengers on a flight from Darwin to Brisbane today were blissfully unaware they were sharing the aircraft with a monster crocodile.

Weighing more than 400 kilograms, the saltwater croc named Shrek brought new meaning to the designation of excess baggage.

The 4.5-metre saltie was flown from the Northern Territory capital Darwin to Brisbane, and was then taken by truck to a wildlife park at Port Macquarie in New South Wales.

I now know how to pronounce Brisbane. I've been pronouncing it wrong my entire life but fortunately, have only said it once that I can think of.

Val,

ˈbrɪzbən

Next you'll be trying to convince me you can pronounce Melbourne.

ˈmɛlbərn

(I'll bet you can't say Barcaldine.)
