Authorities have removed a problem crocodile from Newell Beach, just north of Port Douglas, a town in the Australian state of Queensland.
The male crocodile, measuring around 14.7 feet (4.5 meters) long, was estimated to be over 50 years old, according Matt Brien from Queensland s Department of Environment and Science (DES). It s a living dinosaur, really, Brien told Australia s ABC News. Its size meant that it posed quite a serious risk to public safety they are a serious predator of many things and humans fit into that category. Their size and the whole way that they are, they are dinosaurs and they re not to be treated lightly, he added.

You might recognise Juan. Sharp-eyed foodies will have seen him on the only episode of the Netflix food show
Chef s Table: BBQ to feature an Australian cook – in this case, Firedoor s Lennox Hastie. During the episode, Hastie journeys up to far-northern Queensland to discover the source of his seafood-heavy cuisine, going out to spear a mud crab and then cook it over hot coals on a deserted beach with an Indigenous guide.
