The top politician in Australia’s Northern Territory said Tuesday it was “time to consider” a return to crocodile culling after an attack at a popular swimming spot.
A 67-year-old man is recovering in hospital after encountering a crocodile at Wangi Falls in Litchfield National Park on Monday.
Northern Territory chief minister Natasha Fyles told reporters there had been a “significant increase” in the crocodile population since culling was suspended in the 1970s, with numbers going from around 3,000 to an estimate of more than 100,000.
