Re: West Alligator croc kill
That's an eye opener just on the basis of the size of that crocodile being located so close to a main road and bridge in a relatively small dry section of the river.

Re: West Alligator croc kill
If their investigative skills are as good as their maths they are never going to catch the culprit. It's 40 years old at best but survived croc hunting that ended in 1970 ....... 45 years ago. They don't actually say anything that discounts it died naturally in a drying pool and someone took its skull. But it is a tuff talking media release...so tick that box.
“We reckon it to be about 30 to 40 years of age and 4.62m long,” he said.
“It would have survived through the commercial skin hunt from 1945 to 1970.”

We used to call the AFP the 'chocolate soldiers' - they melt when the heat is on 
if they have nothing better to do, they will sort it out.
