Giant Crocodile Captured In Australia To Stop It Going To Town by Olawaleyy036(m): 5:02pm On Jul 10, 2018 |
Authorities in Australia have caught a saltwater crocodile
measuring almost 5 meters (16.4 ft), one of the biggest on
record, to stop it from reaching a populated area, the
Department of Tourism said on Tuesday. Weighing up to 600
kg (1,322 lb), the 60-year old crocodile is the biggest ever
removed from the Katherine River in the remote Northern
Territory. It was moved to live out its days at a crocodile
farm.
The largest crocodile ever captured in Australia measured
6.4 meters, according to records. It was caught and killed in
1974, also in the Northern Territory. Rangers caught the 4.7
meter (15.4 feet) male crocodile 60 km (37 miles) downstream
from the town of Katherine, on Monday after sedating it,
media reported.
They had been hunting it since they first spotted it in 2010.
“He was removed downstream from Katherine to help prevent
human interaction in the more populated areas,” said Tracey
Duldig, acting director of the Department of Tourism and
Culture. “He has been taken to a croc farm in the Katherine
region.” Known for its exotic and sometimes dangerous
wildlife such as sharks and Tasmanian devils, Australia is
home to over 150,000 crocodiles.
Authorities routinely move them away from people. In 2017,
371 crocodiles were captured by rangers in the Northern
Territory cities of Darwin, Palmerston and Katherine alone,
according to the department’s website. This year, 190 have
been captured.
