Big croc caught on NT caravan park boat ramp

A 4.3-metre saltwater crocodile that had been stalking fishermen has been captured after being trapped on a boat ramp at a Northern Territory caravan park southwest of Darwin.

The big croc was caught at the Mango Farm boat ramp this morning, with NT Police helping Parks and Wildlife rangers secure the beast.

The trap was set in March after reports a crocodile had been stalking fishermen and attacking dogs.

The large male crocodile will now be transported to Darwin Crocodile Farm where it will be used in the farm's breeding program.

Two other large crocodiles, measuring 4.48m and 4.38m, have been caught at the caravan park since December last year.

Mango Farm's position on the banks of the Daly River means saltwater crocodiles are an ongoing issue in the area.
