Subscriber only INCREDIBLE footage has emerged of a large saltwater crocodile taking a large animal near the mouth of the Daintree River. A mustering helicopter patrolling the Daintree region happened upon the 4.5m croc with what looks to be a huge turtle in its jaws. The animal was swimming around 500 metres from the coastline. Just trying to get message out large Croc around 4.5m was swimming just South of Daintree mouth and half a kilometre out to sea roughly in line with Wonga Beach, said Brian Bartlett, who posted the footage online. It is the 12th reported crocodile sighting across the Douglas Shire in the last 30 days, with three of them seen around the waterways of Wonga Beach, north of Mossman.
