One of the most unusual animal encounters in recent memory occurred recently in Australia when a lizard ran off with a baby crocodile. The shocking incident was caught on camera by a tourist in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory. The tourist, who was visiting the park to observe wildlife, was stunned to see the lizard scurry away with a small crocodile in its mouth.
The lizard was identified as a Goanna, a type of monitor lizard that is not native to the area. It is believed the lizard may have been introduced to the area by humans, and it is likely the animal was just trying to find something to eat. The baby crocodile was likely a juvenile freshwater crocodile, which are found in the area. These types of crocodiles are not particularly dangerous to humans, although they can be dangerous to small animals.
It is not known what happened to the baby crocodile after it was taken by the Goanna, but it is likely the lizard ate it. The incident is a reminder that wildlife can be unpredictable and dangerous, and that humans should always be cautious when observing wild animals. It is also a reminder that the introduction of non-native species can have unexpected and potentially disastrous consequences.
