Amazing Croc Sighting!
Tuesday, March 10, 2009

Last month, a Mason's Tours nightwalk group went to Myall Creek as usual to look for Crocodiles.

We see Crocs on average about half the time, and many of those sightings are simply the eyes shining back at us. As you can imagine, to see a whole Crocodile on foot, you need to be careful to keep safe, and its not always possible to get close enough on foot to get a really good look.

On this occassion, the guide was scanning the water with the spotlight when a huge commotion was heard up stream. The group went to investigate, and from a high bank were able to clearly see about a 3m Crocodile killing what they believe was a wild pig. For around 15 minutes they watched it death roll and snap at the pig. This is a very lucky sighting, and even for the guide, a once in a lifetime sighting.

The next night the Croc was still there, guarding its victim. Later in the week there was no sign, either the Croc moved the body, or it became soft enough to eat!
