A giant crocodile attacked and ate a woman named Fatima in North Kalimantan, Indonesia, who was 45 years old when she was killed. On Friday, June 12, 2020, Fatima and friends fished in the river. Suddenly she screamed, and her friend saw a scene of panic, and a giant crocodile more than six meters long was biting Fatima with its sharp teeth and dragging her into the water.
Police and local residents began a search operation, and a few hours later they found Fatima's head and some body parts. The next day, the search and rescue team found the man-eating crocodile on the riverbank, and the police shot directly. Amirudin, head of the Agency of the Darakan Special Administrative Region, said: "The police first shot at the crocodile. The villagers then cut open the crocodile's stomach and found the victim's limbs from inside. "Fatima's body was taken to the city of Tarakán and handed over to her family.
In Indonesia, such crocodile attacks on humans are not unique. On June 28 of this year, in West Papua, Indonesia, a 32-year-old villager named Yenimman Bernard disappeared. Witnesses said he was attacked by a huge crocodile. People found the crocodile, killed it, and found Bernard's body from the crocodile's stomach. Authorities have issued warnings to residents to stay away from water sources as there could be more crocodiles in the area. However, it is not easy to do this, because people need to live on the water, so they can't avoid encountering crocodiles, and they have to be careful.
