Val Plumwood survived a crocodile attack in February 1985 at Kakadu National Park. After being pulled underwater, she managed to escape and stem her injury. Plumwood would have been the 17th reported crocodile fatality in Northern Territory history. Following her recovery, she expressed that revenge against the attacker was pointless, posing a thought-provoking question about the human perception of predation. Unlike humans, animals attacking humans triggers outrage, highlighting a significant double standard regarding our relationship with nature and other species.
