HAVE you ever heard the famous last words, “we’ll be safe so long as we always remain in the vessel”?
A South Alligator River crocodile jumped out of the water and into a boat of NT fishermen last month, after the men stopped for a bite to eat.
The group is believed to have stopped on the river to cook dinner on board when the crocodile, likely in search of his own meal, attacked.
Only one of the men was injured, escaping with minor wounds, which were treated at Jabiru Health Centre.
Warning signs have since been placed on a noticeboard on the banks of the River notifying the public of two problem crocodiles in the area, which Kakadu National Park Rangers are searching for.
The first four months of 2021 have already marked the most Top End crocodile attacks since 2017.
