Northern Territory removes 290 saltwater crocodiles from waterways in a year

Residents are warned to take more care as 2015's figure is announced - it's a high one, based on recent years, although not a record

Wildlife rangers pulled almost 300 saltwater crocodiles from Northern Territory waterways in 2015, more than in either of the two previous years.

As part of its population management program, the Parks and Wildlife Commission NT (PWCNT) removed 290 crocodiles of various sizes from NT rivers, harbours and waterholes, the largest measuring 4.38m from the Daly River.
