Croc back to cranky self after being hit by bus

CANBERRA, Australia - A young crocodile named Fluffy is back to her cranky old self after being hit by a bus while duck hunting in a city in northern Australia, a veterinarian said on Thursday.

The 1.3-meter saltwater crocodile underwent emergency surgery and then spent 11 days recovering in the Marlin Coast Veterinary Hospital after the late night accident in a beachside suburb of Cairns, Doug English said.

"It was pretty dopey for a couple of days and then it got fairly cranky so obviously it was feeling a lot better," English said.
