In Australia, a boy is fighting for his life after being attacked by a crocodile in the famous Kakadu National Park in the north of the country. The nine-year-old was flown in critical condition on Monday to a nearby hospital in the city of Jabiru and later to a hospital in the city of Darwin, Australian broadcaster ABC reported, citing rescuers.
The exact course of the incident is still unclear, but the child was reportedly attacked by the reptile while swimming. No details are known about the exact injuries.
According to official figures, 10,000 saltwater and freshwater crocodiles live in Kakadu National Park, the country’s largest national park – that’s about ten percent of all specimens in the Northern Territory.
Popular with tourists from all over the world, the park is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site. “Remember that anywhere there is water, there may be crocodiles,” says the park’s website. “Be careful near rivers and waterholes and look for crocodile warning signs.” (SDA)
