Anderson Cooper takes his life in hands and dives with the beasts in Botswana

Anderson Cooper has done many stunts for his talk show and covered warzones for his news broadcast, but his latest daredevil investigation came when he agreed to go swimming with crocodiles.

The foray into the murky waters came as part of his correspondent job for CBS' 60 Minutes, when he and a producing team traveled to Botswana for a story on crocodiles in Botswana.

And in spite of the fact that 'every lesson I've ever gotten is stay away from crocodiles', the 45-year-old jumped at the chance to face the beasts head-on.
