Crocodile Invades Australian Home
A crocodile with a length of 5 feet and 6 inches (1.7 meter) visited an Australian family Saturday morning. They contacted Wildlife rangers as the unwanted visitor strolled around their living room.
The house, where the young saltwater crocodile went inside, was located in Bees Creek, a community located at the northern part of Australia city of Darwin.
According to the Australian Broadcasting Corp. the family discovered about the unwanted visit because of their dog's loud barking. They woke up and saw the crocodile wandering in their partially enclosed living room.
Resident Dodd described the experience as an extremely strange moment and the weirdest thing she had encountered.
She thought that the crocodile might have been stalking her dog.
Dani Best, a crocodile management administrator, reported to ABC that the croc has probably been compelled out of a nearby brook by a bigger one. The trespasser has now been transferred to a crocodile farm.
Saltwater crocodiles are very typical in the tropical northern area of Australia. They are locally known as 'salties.' Salties kill an average of two people every year according to studies conducted by crocodile experts.
They can grow up to 7m long and can earn a weight that is more than a tonne.
This incident for sure will interest the crocodile management to study the probable cost of the invading. Results may develop to solutions that would prevent such an unexpected event to happen again.
Crocodile invaders might lead to a more serious encounter.
Crocs can strongly bite of a tonne per square inch. Their jaws are believed to be much stronger than that of the legendary Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur.
Although the average number of people killed by a croc every year is extremely low, people still have to be cautious as the next victim could be any of them.
