CNN ^ | 13 June 2024 | Angus Watson

In a waste-conscious move, the crocodile was “prepared for a feast in the traditional manner,” police said, but not before authorities took the opportunity to give local children an impromptu “crocodile safety session,” including an “up-close look at the dangers within our waterways.”

Speaking to public broadcaster ABC, Northern Territory Police Sergeant Andrew McBride said the animal was “cooked up into crocodile tail soup, he was on the barbecue, a few of the pieces were wrapped up in banana leaves and cooked underground.”

Salties are dangerous creatures. Very smart. But do they taste good?

If alligator or crocodile was naturally found in France, the French Kings and their chefs at Versaille would have created the most elaborate dishes from it, which would now cost you $$ several hundred in a NY City restaurant.

Cooked some crocodile fillets for the first time a couple of weeks ago and they were delicious . Expensive here in Japan as the meat is imported from Australia . Just like to try some exotic meat once in a while . Have ordered kangaroo , ostrich and camel from the same online shop before .

Last year, the remains of a 64-year-old fisherman were recovered from inside a crocodile, also in Queensland.

Circumstantial evidence, Your Honor!

So the song Try That In A Small Town was probably written to warn off this crocodile .
Croc didn’t listen.
Croc was eaten.
Lesson can be applied in US.
Stay away punks or you will be eaten . Townspeople will band together and take the punk out

—”Did they acquire his strength?”

Popular thinking in some areas.

Downtown Chicago, 1812, and it has only gotten worse.

“During the ensuing battle, some of the Native Americans charged at the wagon train that contained the women and children and the provisions. The wagons were defended by the militia, as well as Ensign Ronan and the fort physician Van Voorhis. The officers and militia were killed, along with two of the women and most of the children. Wells disengaged from the main battle and attempted to ride to the aid of those at the wagons. In doing so, he was brought down. According to eyewitness accounts, he fought off many Native Americans before being killed, and a group of Indians immediately cut out his heart and ate it to absorb his courage.”
