Massive 3.3m crocodile captured near police station

MANDENI – A local SAPS station near Mandeni called for assistance around 10pm on Wednesday night for a crocodile behind the station. A team responded to the station to investigate, and found a large, adult crocodile. Being a unique situation, the decision was made to call for assistance from a local, Ashton Musgrave, who has experience in safely capturing crocodiles.

The crocodile was safely captured and loaded onto the back of a waiting vehicle. The crocodile has measured in at a massive 3.3m! After discussions with relevant authorities, the crocodile will be relocated to the Hluhluwe area this morning. A big thank you to the local community and all that assisted in getting the croc to safety.
