A crocodile in Australia grabbed a 14 year old boy and dragged him away as a prey. The boy was swimming with his brothers in a river at Milingimbi in the far north of the country, when the animal attacked the group. The research immediately matches, but so far there is no trace of the victim.
Milingimbi island is about 500 meters from de Arnhem Land, on land, populated mostly by Aborigines. At about 440 km from Darwin, belongs to the group of Islands of the crocodile, so renamed in the seventeenth century by Dutch explorers because of the extensive presence of these animals.
"We explored the whole area, but the baby seems to disappear into thin air," said Craig Ryan Sunday, police in the Northern Territory. "Certainly we hope to find the boy alive," Ryan added to the ABC network in Australia. The research, suspended in the night, will resume Monday. The brothers, witnesses of the incident, managed to reach safety just in time.
Every year in Australia are killed on average two people from the fearsome saltwater crocodiles in Australia. The reptiles can reach seven meters in length and can weigh over a ton. Just like a submerged submarine, the crocodile is waiting for the right moment to attack the prey, that just because a powerful lightning attack, rarely manages to escape, say the experts.
