Saltwater Croc? Dog Attack in Flinders River | Australia News

A saltwater crocodile may be lurking in the Flinders River near Richmond — 660km from its usual territory — after a dog vanished in a suspected attack. Mayor John Wharton suspects a saltwater croc, citing the nature of the attack, while zoologist Grahame Webb confirms it’s rare but possible for these beasts to travel that far inland, especially with recent floods. Though freshwater crocs can also be dangerous, saltwater ones are more likely to make such bold moves. With Bottom Crossing a popular spot for swimmers and campers, authorities have issued a safety warning until the species is confirmed.
