Never Smile at a Crocodile

According to The Courier-Mail, the 60cm saltwater crocodile was first spotted on Wednesday as it sunned itself on the bank of the natural waterway. The crocodile was plucked from the lake by Australia Zoo's crocodile rescue unit.

The crocodile was believed to have been dumped in the lagoon in an "area that's used by a lot of children" and "dumping it was irresponsible," said a Sunshine Coast local.

Several crocodile sightings in the Noosa River were reported in September.
