"What made that particular animal special was that it had a very light colored head, so it was very recognizable," he said. "It was missing part of its tail, two limbs and had a big scar on its belly.


"He was an old, beaten up, battle-scarred crocodile that everyone knew," Britton said.


"When this report of someone being killed came in, people knew he was pretty much the only crocodile that lived in that territory," he said. "A lot of people didn't want to see him shot."
But Britton said that it was a legal requirement that the crocodile be killed so that the coroner could confirm the cause of death by, for example, matching bite marks and examining the reptile's stomach contents.

What a story......I've a good friend in Darwin and he's told me stories about the crocs and how they will come up where someone is fishing and just wait below the surface - expecting to get a fish. This croc probably didn't know any better - he just heard the dinner bell go off - and that was that.
