Pig falls prey to huge croc

AN EAGLE-EYED Townsville aviation student made a surprising find while flying her helicopter over Cape Cleveland yesterday.

Townsville Helicopters pilot and flying instructor Sam Arnold said he was flying alongside student Danielle Moy when she called him over the radio after spotting a massive crocodile stashing away a pig for a snack.

“She saw it … and I flew over it and took a video,” he said.

“We were all pretty impressed, actually, that she managed to find it.”

Mr Arnold said while it was not uncommon to see crocs while flying over that area, he hadn’t seen a crocodile quite that big before.
