Corrected entry: Hector is supposed to be this skilled crocodile hunter/trapper. In one scene, he accidentally traps the sheriff in the old fashioned rope-in-the-tree-leaves-the-sheriff-dangling-from-the-tree trap. Now this is a trap designed for small animals or people, how effective would this trap be to a 30 foot crocodile?

Correction: Perhaps it would snag one of its feet and, while not necessarily trapping it, it may aggrivate the crocodile into making enough noise to wake everybody and, by keeping its foot snagged, keep it busy enough for them to prepare tranquilizers to knock it out. OR, perhaps the trap was there to catch a smaller creature, perhaps even a bear, and thus create a sort of lure to the crocodile to come onto land, etc.
