And yet the rangers turned up in the video just before it cut out....rangers put the drone up and found the croc looks almost identical to a dugong.....

So the original video guy posted a croc declared video that finished 5 minutes before the rangers filmed the dugong......120 plus other people believed they saw a croc too....amazing what you see when you want to believe it is something extraordinary.

Yeah I saw the video at lunchtime today.

If I read my own name in the Courier-Mail I would be checking my birth certificate right away. I heard the guy who took the drone video interviewed on the radio early today and he said as soon as he reviewed the vision he knew immediately it was a dugong.  I guess this will be the first of many false starts and we may never know if there is or has recently been a croc in the area.

Hype can sell news in any direction. Even if it is not the truth. Sometimes people are happier believing what is most convenient so that's what gets sold to them.

How funny this story has got quiet... no more sightings... hahaha... i live Wynnum/Manly and they "reported" a croc in the Manly leads...  well if a croc was in the harbour it would have taken it's rest at the many man made beaches... i have lived and fished in Darwin and yeah, the video footage didn't match my experience with crocs... hahaha
