A farmer, 72, fell into a crocodile enclosure in the Cambodian city of Siem Reap Luan Nam was pulled in when one of the reptiles pulled on the stick he was using
A 72-year-old farmer was killed by 'about 40 crocodiles' this morning after falling into their enclosure on the family's reptile farm.
Luan Nam was trying to move a crocodile out of its cage in Cambodia where it had laid eggs when it grabbed the stick he was using as a goad and pulled him in.
A group of reptiles swarmed him, tearing his body to pieces and leaving the enclosure in Siem Reap awash with blood.
The body was pictured, recovered, after the incident, but police said the man's arm was torn off and swallowed by the crocodiles.
Farmers in Cambodia often breed and sell crocodiles to buyers in China, Thailand and Vietnam where their skin can be made into leather and other products.
Mey Savry, police chief of Siem Reap commune, told AFP: 'While he was chasing a crocodile out of an egg-laying cage, the crocodile attacked the stick, causing him to fall into the enclosure.'
'Then other crocodiles pounced, attacking him until he was dead,' he said.
He added that the remains of the man's body were covered with bite marks.
Images after the attack showed the huge beasts still paddling in the pool after the body was recovered.

The perpetrator crocodile later slipped and fell into the shark pool and was ripped apart by 40 devious sharks, one of which fell into the rattle snake pit, and was bitten by 40 vicious snakes.
Sounds real Asian to save money on guard rails. Croc probably didn’t like being poked and may have suspected he was being led to slaughter.
yuck When I viewed the BBC nature show Planet Earth years ago I began to notice an awful lot of it was one type of animal eating another. I stopped eventually since while it did show the food chain in action and the cinematography was exceptional I could only take so much of it.
Must have been lunch time for the Crocks.
It was his favorite stick

I had a favorite stick when I was a wee lad but I had to share it with my six siblings.
My older sister whopped me with it. Later in life, I didn’t shed a single tear when a moose bit her.
Same here. I can only take so much. Also, before I got rid of Netflix, I got tired of their obsession with animal sex. Beetle sex, snake sex, squirrel sex, you name it, they had to devote a goodly portion of each show to that. Um, I just wanted to see the animals and scenery. Who wants to watch beetle sex for ten long minutes?
#43 I watch the food shows on tv and see the human animals devour pork chops and steak and hamburger and hot dogs and chicken and duck and fish...
Getting eaten by a crocodile is just like falling asleep. Inside of a giant blender.
