4½ Metre Saltwater Crocodile with Turtle

Weipa - North Qld

Spotted this large crocodile from a bridge over an estuary. At first I thought
it was a log with waves lapping up on it but a second look showed that it
was a crocodile with a large turtle in its mouth and the splashing was the
turtle's efforts to free itself. The locals indicted they knew this crocodile
and believed it was around 4.5 metres long. This would make the turtle
around 1.2 - 1.5 metres long.
