Having just turned 57, he’s back and is putting on a show for his fans.
A park keeper gave Elvis a quarter of a cow carcass for his milestone birthday, but didn’t expect his reaction.
A 4.75-meter-long saltwater crocodile claimed the cow as its own, dragged the beef into the water, and wrestled it to death.
The keepers had to contend for safety as the large reptiles were literally right behind them.
“It’s not easy playing tug-of-war with a half-ton animal like Elvis,” said Jake Menney, the park’s head of reptiles.
“For the next few days, I can always feel the burn on my arm. Since his birthday last year, he’s gotten stronger.”
Operations Manager Billy Collette said it was great to see Elvis recover from the dental surgery that removed three infected teeth.
