A 14-foot crocodile which had been eating cattle near a river in Australia was captured by Northern Territory Police. The crocodile was tied down and transferred to a crocodile farm, but the trap was left in the water to capture a larger crocodile reported in the area.

"Just another day in the outback for NT Police and Northern Territory Parks and Wildlife," they wrote.
Norther Territory Police Remote Sgt. Mark Berry called the capture "a bit of an unorthodox extraction" as the crocodile could be seen flailing about and nearly broke free as crews pulled it ashore.
The crocodile was ultimately tied down to a board and hauled off on a trailer.
Berry said the trap used to capture the giant crocodile would be left in the water as there had been reports of an even larger one lurking in the waters.
