Miss Australia Rachael Finch almost eaten by a crocodile


Before going to the Bahamas to represent Australia in the Miss Universe 2009, Rachael Finch, 20, toured a crocodile farm in her country and a terrifying incident happened to her.

Finch was almost eaten by a crocodile if she was not quick to move away from the freaky creature.

The crocodile farm in the Northern Territory in Australia is named Eric and she was there watching the crocodiles being fed with raw chicken meat. Good thing though she's quick to realize she was the crocodile's target and not the raw chicken.

She immediately moved away and secured herself.

"As soon as I saw him move I got nervous," Finch said in an interview.

Miss Australia Rachael Finch has already arrived in the Bahamas in good shape, free from harm and ready to take home the title.

She is currently one of the big favorites for the Miss Universe 2009 title.

With this "crocodile story" she has under her belt, Finch will for sure have a great chance of "eating" other candidates' chances of winning the crown.
