Lakefield Croc Attack

Does anyone know if the offending corc has been caught?

Paul Horder

No Paul. They did shoot one croc which was such a shame. They found no sign
of the guy inside the croc - what a waste huh? Anyway, they did find a thigh
bone last week, said it was human, still doing tests to confirm it was the
man (lets hope so or someone else has been taken there LOL) Sorry if I sound
a bit flippant but do what they were doing in croc land and you run the
risk. I am for NOT culling crocs, I am for people being in control of the
outcome of being in croc country and not being careful.

I was told years ago that most croc attacks involve three things;

humans,
an esky,
lots of beer.

Put those 3 together and crocs seem to have an inate sense of
when to restock the larder.

I've read somewhere that crocs dont eat their kill straight away,
they tuck them under a tree root to "mature" and have a snack
on after a busy day in the billabong.

I think that "inate sense" stems from having a chemical enhanced human
swimming out to meet them. Chances are they hung their clothes on the
"Warning: esturine crocodiles" sign before taking the plunge.

Don't tell that to a croc expert. It's the very first myth to be
loudly debunked at any wildlife park.

Haven't followed that one. What happened? Do you have a URL, maybe? Couldn't
find it on the SMH.
