A crocodile handler at a wildlife park in Papua New Guinea has died after the animal held his legs in its jaws for more than an hour during a feeding demonstration, as witnesses tried to help free him before emergency services arrived.
The worker was attacked inside a fenced enclosure at Adventure Park in Port Moresby on Saturday, 5 September. He was taken to 3 Mile General Hospital after being freed but later died from his injuries. The witness also shared what he believed were the handler's heartbreaking final words.
