In many areas of Australia, crocodiles enter rivers from the deep sea and are sometimes seen roaming inside cities. In such a situation, it is not surprising that the incidents of crocodiles attacking and harassing people are on the rise. Mirror According to the WHO, there are more than 100,000 crocodiles in the Northern Territory, an area six times the size of the UK.
Then again, officials believe crocodile attacks on humans are rare, and when they do happen they are captured and killed. NT Police Minister Brent Potter said wildlife officers were allowing crocodiles to be “removed” from the area once they were found. “We live in a place where crocodiles take over our water spaces.”
