Could be, could be.
Some friends and I once found a dead shark washed up on the rocks at the end of a surf beach years ago. I thought it would be hilarious if we dragged it through the water down the beach where others were swimming and then started to wrestle it like it was a shark attack.
Great plan, but the feeling as we were taking the dead shark for a "bit of a walky" by its pectoral fins through the water freaked us out so much that we abandoned that idea.
I wonder if anyone saw a person climb out from underneath the croc skin.
