The ‘icon’ croc will be taken to the Korana crocodile farm.

08.01.2022 This article is from the Cairns Post issue of Wednesday, 30 Sep Harpoons at ready as croc attack fears rise NOOSES and skin-deep harpoons could be used to wrangle a problem crocodile suspected of eating a dog on a popular Cairns tourist beach. ... The Department of Environment and Science has confirmed it received a report of a possible crocodile attack on a dog at Palm Cove on Wednesday last week and a further sighting on Tuesday. The person reporting the incident last Wednesday advised DES that the crocodile may have taken a dog they had been walking along the beach at the time, after the dog had run out of sight, a department spokesman said. The person making the report did not see the crocodile take the dog. The dog was never seen again and its owner, a local doctor, reported hearing yelps before seeing a swell of water, although he never actually witnessed the attack. The crocodile is also likely the same reptile that attacked Chill Cafe owner Tony Moore’s kelpie-cross , Frankie, in April, leaving it with deep but non-lethal cuts. Regardless of what happened , wildlife officers have been sent to conduct a site inspection of the area after a crocodile was seen in the estuarine lagoon behind the beach at Palm Cove. DES does not promote the view that nothing can be done about a crocodile at Palm Cove, due to it ‘being in its natural habitat’ , the spokesman said. This Palm Cove area is designated as zone B under the Queensland Crocodile Management Plan. This is an ‘active removal zone’ , which means that all crocodiles found are targeted for removal by DES contractors , regardless of the size or behaviour of the animal. A trap in the area has so far failed to catch the crocodile, so more direct capture methods may be attempted. The contractors are highly skilled and use a variety of methods, such as using nooses or harpoons, the spokesman explained. Harpooning does not cause any harm to the crocodile , but results in a hook into the animal’s leathery skin allowing the animal to be hauled into the boat DES asks members or the public to report any crocodile seen in the area as soon as possible. Crocodile sightings can be reported on 1300 130 372. The department investigates all reports it receives. Copyright 2020 News Pty Limited
