A crocodile which lunged at a resident of a houseboat has been captured at a north Queensland marina. The reptile, measuring more than 4m long, was reported to authorities after launching itself at the houseboat, and in a separate incident, taking a dog. The animal was captured at Cardwell Marina, north of Townsville , on Monday, less than a week after a 3m crocodile was caught in the same location.
“It also means that the animal may only be placed with a registered crocodile farm or zoo which agrees to use it for educational purposes about crocodile conservation and their ecology.” Meeve said the crocodiles were likely attracted to the area because they had found food in the marina. “I am asking everyone who uses the marina to make sensible choices around the water, and that includes the proper disposal of unwanted bait and fish frames,” she said.
