A baby crocodile approximately 30cm in length was found this afternoon wandering the light rail construction site in Queens Street, Southport and was taken to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary for a check-up by Dr Andrew Hill Picture: David Clark Source: Gold Coast Bulletin
IT sounds like a croc of the proverbial, but a crocodile has been found wandering the streets of the Gold Coast.
The juvenile crocodile was discovered by dumbstruck work crews on the Gold Coast light rail project on Queen St in Southport about 4pm Friday.
The shocked workers quickly captured the reptile, barely longer than a 30cm ruler, and called wildlife authorities.
In the wild, crocodiles rarely venture south of the tropics, but occasionally crocodiles escaped from captivity have turned up in the state's southeast.
In recent years there have even been unconfirmed sightings of crocodiles in the Brisbane River.
The crocodile was later transported to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
Vets at the sanctuary's animal hospital believe the Gold Coast tourist was abducted from the state's far north and released on the coast.
