Mystery Surrounding Death of 5.4-Meter Giant Crocodile Solved after Autopsy

The sheer size of the crocodile left the discoverers in awe. According to the Daily Star, a 5.4-meter-long crocodile was found dead in mysterious circumstances at the Flag Boshielo dam near the town of Marble Hall, Limpopo Province, South Africa.

Rikus Muller, one of the two fishermen who found the giant crocodile’s body, shared with Newsflash: “We were fishing on the evening of October 10th when we saw something floating on the water surface. As we got closer, we were horrified to see it was the hind leg of a crocodile.”

The fishermen approached the creature for a closer look. “I thought it might be dead, so I poked it with my net,” Muller said.

Both men wanted to investigate what caused the death of this gigantic “monster,” but it was already dark outside. They decided to return the next morning.

To give an idea of the crocodile’s immense size, Muller took a photo of its foot next to his hand. The difference in scale was staggering.

Muller shared the photo with his close friend Martin Theunissen, who was also surprised by the crocodile’s enormous size. They decided to return to the site where they found the creature.

“We found it and pulled it ashore to take some pictures. After that, we pulled the crocodile’s body to the dam wall for further inspection,” Muller said.

After a thorough examination, the cause of the crocodile’s death was revealed to be the ingestion of too many fishing nets.

The discovery of this giant crocodile has left many people in shock. However, the autopsy revealed that the creature’s death was caused by human negligence. It serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and preserving the wildlife around us.
