US EditionWas a Crocodile Really Spotted in Noosa? Some Locals Think so, but This Expert Is Dubious
NOOSA SPIT, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA, JUL 21 – Department of Environment and Science is investigating multiple reports including photos and eyewitness accounts of a 3.5-metre crocodile far south of its usual Queensland habitat.
- On Sunday, DETSI launched an investigation after a potential crocodile sighting at Noosa Spit, with wildlife rangers finding no evidence and a follow-up search slated for Monday.
- Earlier this month, rangers euthanased a crocodile in the Mary River, about 50 km inland from Noosa, as part of habitat management, since crocodile habitat typically begins at the Boyne River about 400 kilometres north of Noosa.
- Fisherman James Graham and Kai Tapley spotted a crocodile at Noosa Spit, with Graham saying `The moment you see it, you know it’s a croc.`
- The public is urged to report sightings via the QWildlife app, as authorities investigate reports of a crocodile at Noosa Spit, with searches ongoing.
- Despite the sightings, experts at the University of Queensland maintain, `There is not currently any evidence to suggest the croc population is moving south in Queensland,` Kaitlin Barham said.
