According to Australian authorities, a “problem” crocodile that was pursuing parents and kids was shot and prepared for the local Aboriginal community.
Following flooding earlier in the year, the 3.63-meter-long reptile “moved into” the River Baines in the Northern Territory town of Bulla, according to emergency services.
It has been “stalking and lunging out of the water at children and adults” ever since, they continued.
According to the police, it had also “taken multiple community dogs.”
The crocodile was shot to make sure it “did not continue to pose a significant risk to the community” after conversations with the locals.
According to authorities, the “community prepared it for a feast in the traditional manner” after the “large saltie” was brought to Bulla.
According to remote sergeant Andrew McBride, it was “on the barbecue” and “cooked up into crocodile tail soup” for News.
Furthermore, some of the portions were “cooked underground while wrapped in banana leaves.”
“It was a fairly large traditional feast and there were a few full bellies,” Sergeant McBride continued.
According to Mr. McBride, crocodiles have been “popping up where they’ve never been seen before”.
The event comes after extensive floods that occurred earlier this year in the territory’s western regions.
According to Mr. McBride, “the amount of water has just pushed them into random places.”
“This is obviously one of those crocodiles that’s gone for a bit of a swim and a walk and popped up very close to residents.”
