Jaws of Death! Amazing Pictures of Giant Saltwater Crocodile Crushing the Shell of a Dead Sea Turtle... Before Strutting off With a Full Stomach
http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...63_964x387.jpg Daily Mail UK, 19 December 2014 Amazing images have been emerged of the moment a mammoth saltwater crocodile shattered a dead sea turtle's shell out on a remote beach in the Northern Territory. Ranger Dani Best first discovered the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle washed up on shore two weeks ago, killed by a ghost net. She cut the endangered species out of the net and placed a wildlife monitoring camera, which captured a number of animals coming in for a free feed. But the footage also showed the powerful pressure of a crocodile's bite as it crushed the outer layer of the turtle in order to gain access to the meaty goods. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954522692.jpg Amazing images have been emerged of the moment a saltwater crocodile shattered a dead sea turtle's shell out in a remote beach in the Northern Territory http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954561595.jpg Ranger Dani Best first discovered the Olive Ridley Sea Turtle, which was killed by a ghost net, washed up on shore two weeks ago http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954538136.jpg Rangers cut the endangered species out of the net and placed a wildlife monitoring camera, which captured a number of animals coming in for a free feed http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954615099.jpg According to Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife, the sea creature is a threatened species Ms Best was collecting rubbish along the coast at Garig Gunak Barlu National Park on the Cobourg Peninsula, east of Darwin, when she found the turtle - also known as the Lepidochelys olivacea. According to Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife, the sea creature is a threatened species. Crocodylus Park owner Grahame Webb said the forceful bite of a crocodile is about three tonnes. 'No other animal on the planet has a comparable bite force to a crocodile,' he said. Ms Best along with other rangers cut the dead turtle out of the net then planted a camera to film Cobourg wildlife eating the deceased reptile. Among those animals include the saltwater croc and a Beach Stone-curlew, which is a large ground-dwelling bird. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954625385.jpg Ms Best was collecting rubbish along the coast at Garig Gunak Barlu National Park on the Cobourg Peninsula, east of Darwin, when she found the turtle - also known as the Lepidochelys olivacea http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/...8954580071.jpg Crocodylus Park owner Grahame Webb told NT News the forceful bite of a crocodile is about three tonnes http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/...87_636x358.jpg A Kakadu National Park's Crocodile Eating Its Prey (Related) |
