Omg there could possibly be a baby fresh loose in darwin, haha, the media will report on anything.

 

[Origamislice]

why would you buy a crocodile for a 12 yr old? once the kid moves out they are likely going to have to look after it, well maybe not anymore...

 

[scorps]

I think it's more funny because they made a big article over the fact there's an escapee hatchling freshy in Darwin lol

 

[RandomBeardies28]

Omg! Not Darwin! What ever will we do?! Haha

The NT news are obliged to have a crocodile story every week during the tourist season.

That's it! I'm leaving. Giant salties, box jellies, cone shells, cyclones, floods.........
......and now a hatchy freshie!!!!!!

It's the final straw!

there's always silly news about crocs in the paper in Darwin. lol
My dad lives there in I remember reading many stories on my first visit there about people finding crocs in their pools.
Even one about the local pool shutting down because they found a baby saltie in the pool...

so to the locals its not news. lol

Croc attacks are supposed to boast tourist numbers

Sighting a croc in darwin goes hand in hand like bread and butter.

Must have been a slow news day.
