In all seriousness, that story is not all that unusual for northern Australia. Since crocodiles became a protected species in this country in 1974, their population has exploded. Crocodiles grow throughout their lives, so some of the older males are absolutely enormous. As that news report shows, the authorities are very proactive in relocating the big ones found near inhabited areas, but out there in the vast tropical reaches of northern Australia there are many 6 metre, 1 tonne + monsters just doin' their thing. Terrifying.
