seajae Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 well a couple of weeks back when we were driving over the local bridge I was pretty sure I saw what looked very much like a small croc(under a metre) sun baking in the shallows. Didnt have a camera so couldnt get a pic but I have seen quite a lot of crocs over the years in Australia and know what they look like, the jaw line/snout was too long to be a water monitor, didnt say anything because I didnt want to start something, cant really see any way for one to be there, there is no way to explain how it got there although there were crocs in the area many years ago.

The tag doesn't seem to appear in the two other photos so maybe the Fishery Department people who came to take it away tagged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jak2002003 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Poor thing. Leave it where it was. Wish they would reintroduce the native Siamese Crocodile back here... they could keep down the street dog and feral cat populations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
