Fears for Australia boy missing after crocodile attack
Related Stories Fears for Australia boy missing after crocodile attack Police in northern Australia are searching for a 12-year-old boy feared killed by a crocodile, the second potential fatality(несчастный случай) in two weeks. The boy was swimming with a group of people at Port Bradshaw in East Arnhem Land, police said. Other members of the group tried to spear(ударить чем-то острым) the animal but it reportedly (как сообщают) dragged(утащил) the boy to deeper waters. A girl aged seven disappeared two weeks ago and human remains(останки) were later found in a crocodile's stomach. That attack took place at the Gumarrirnbang outstation, about 500km (300 miles) east of Darwin, the capital of Northern Territory. 'Tragic circumstance(обстоятельство)' Saturday's attack was at Port Bradshaw, 80km south of the town of Nhulunbuy.
Police Superintendent Michael White said in a statement: "Initial reports(предворительный отчет) suggest adults within the group tried to save the boy by spearing the animal, but the crocodile dragged the child out to deeper water. "Officers from Nhulunbuy police station are currently(в настоящее время) at the scene of the attack and searching for the boy and the crocodile." Supt White added: "This is a tragic circumstance for the child's family and friends, and highlights(выделяется) the dangers of swimming in waterways in the Top End." A day after the attack two weeks ago, police rangers shot dead a three-metre-long reptile in the same waterhole - or billabong - where the girl went missing. Tests suggest its stomach contained(содержал) human remains. Fatal attacks in Australia by saltwater crocodiles - a protected species - remain rare.
Who was the first victim of the crocodile? Who was the second crocodile’s victim? How long was the crocodile? Are you afraid of crocodiles? When was found the first dead body? It is a terrible event. I think that people should be more careful. People shouldn’t swim in river if they know that there are a lot of crocodiles.
Oh my God!!!! These animals are really dangerous. To tell the thuth, I don't know exactly if crocodile can eat people. Maybe.... they get pleasure when they kill people. But, likely, a person have a fault too. It is known that these animals protest their habitat. And they don't admit to dirturb them in it. If a person know that crocodile lives in this river, he must not swim there. It is very dangeours. We sometimes harm ourselves((
Oh it is natural that there are a lot of crocodiles in Australia. So people must be more careful. I think it is possible to kill some crocodiles if they attack people. It is the solution of this problem imho.
Of course, I am afraid of crocodiles. This is a terrible article. People should not expose to life in danger. People must protect children from these animals. I am very glad that I live in a place where there are not crocodiles.
