In northern Australia, a saltwater crocodile terrorized a remote community, repeatedly snapping at children before eventually being eaten at a feast.
The approximately 3.6 meter long animal lurked in the water, then stalked and attempted to attack children and adults, Northern Territory police said. Additionally, numerous dogs in the community fell victim to the reptile.
Crocodile killed and prepared as a feast
After discussions with elders and landowners in the town of Bulla, the crocodile was shot on Tuesday and, according to police, “prepared for a feast in a traditional manner.” Police officer Andrew McBride told Australia’s ABC: “I think it was made into crocodile tail soup, grilled and a few pieces wrapped in banana leaves and cooked underground.”
Police suspect that the crocodile entered the river near the inhabited area during the floods earlier this year. The community is about a six-hour drive from South Darwin.
