Croc takes dog, humans next
The Environmental Protection Agency laid a trap in waters off Mornington Island earlier this week after three crocs, believed to have eaten several dogs since September, were coming too close to humans.

One crocodile of about two metres was caught and euthanased on Monday.

Mornington Shire Council acting chief executive officer Robert Cooper said a second crocodile of about two metres and a larger one about three metres long were yet to be caught.

"Locals and our animal control officer saw the smaller one take another dog yesterday,'' Mr Cooper said.

"The dog was coming ashore when it was taken.

"If it can do that to a dog, it can do that to a person. Everyone is being a lot more vigilant and staying away from the water.''

The dog was taken in the Appel Channel between Mornington and Denham islands, where the larger crocodile has also been seen.

Mornington Island is one of 22 islands in the Gulf of Carpentaria.

Mr Cooper said it was unusual to have crocodiles so close to Mornington Island as most occupy the river systems on the mainland.
