Croc bites drone

Whoa, this pilot / ABC cameraman should have known how they can leap very high, and you'd also think they'd have worked out a safe way to film with park management . . . for the drone too.

New drone the cameraman said, looks like an Air2S.

The link in the article to the end digital news article is a good read, but warning there is footage from the 50s or 60s of a trapped croc being shot . . . some big animals shown in the story, like Sweetheart . . .

Hey, at least this one the lipo didn't get damaged and burst into smoke / flames, like the recent gator thread.

Hi....this Richard Fidler ABC interview with NT Taxidermist Jared Archibald is interesting re Sweetheart's life and sad ending. I think that drone is heading to the 'taxidermist'......or ...is it already stuffed!

Listened this week to an interesting interview by Richard Fidler ABC with NT taxidermist Jared Archibald re crocodile Sweetheart's life and sad accidental ending. I reckon that drone doesn't need a taxidermist as it is already stuffed!
Cheers from Down Under.

Sweetheart is not the one who ate the drone I take it?

Correct. During his reign as boss croc of the billabong, he developed a taste for attacking boats.
He wasn't doing it to attack people, he wasn't trying to eat people, he never did that, but he had a penchant of not liking boats and for attacking them. Many people ended up in the drink and there was concern that in time sweetheart would take someone. It was when they tried to catch him alive that it proved fatal ...for him.
