Well what a week for Croc news. We heard on Wednesday that Charlie a 5 Meter Croc took a local camper in Northern Queensland. So we decided to visit the local Croc farm in Darwin. We got there just in time for feeding. This male was also about 5 Meters in length, but only gets fed a half chicken a week.

Police and wildlife officials searched a murky river in Australia's tropical north on Thursday for signs of a camper authorities suspect was killed by a crocodile.

Arthur Booker, 62, of Brisbane, hasn't been seen since Tuesday when he left the campsite where he and his wife Doris had been vacationing to check a crab pot on the bank of the Endeavour River. The river, north of Cooktown in Queensland state, is home to several giant saltwater crocodiles.

Searchers later found ominous clues: Booker's video camera was lying on the riverbank. The line to his crab pot had been severed. And nearby, there were scrape marks in the mud.
