“For two nights, Olivier Behra, one of the ablest crocodile hunters in the world, has been standing on a boat, with a torch in one hand and a rope to another and waits for Sifi, the famous ‘fugitive’ crocodile of Europe to come out of hiding in the artificial lake of Crete”. With these words begins the British newspaper «The Guardian» a comprehensive story about the adventures of Sifi!

The tribute accommodates statements of Behra, characterized as the greatest living “crocodile hunter”. “I wanted to jump on his back,” says the report, “at some point we came very close, but he hidden in the vegetation and could not use the rope. When I managed to catch him with my hands, he was too strong to hold him back, because all this time he has been eating chickens, frogs and whatever else he can find in the lake and has put on lots of weight “.

“Sifis seems to take his freedom very seriously,” writes the Guardian, while Behra notes: “The lake is rich in birds and he seems very happy here. In so many years of my career is my first operation in Europe, “says the 50-year old Frenchman. He Indicates that he is sure that this is the Nile crocodile and reveals some of his secrets. “Crocodiles have big ears, so you have to be very quiet when you’re trying to catch them. I was hoping to blind him by the lens and overpower him with the rope, “said Behra which also reveals that he must now leave the operation:” I gave advice to improve the pitfalls and i will be back in October, if he is still free “says while admitting his temporary defeat,” Okay, he won a few more weeks in a beautiful lake with plenty of birds birds. But I’ll be back in October.”
