A dramatic operation in South Africa has captured global attention after extraordinary footage went viral. The video shows a police officer suspended from a helicopter and, below him, a giant crocodile is tied and being airlifted by the helicopter. It is reported that the animal had been euthanised prior to the recovery.
The viral video shows the moments Captain Johan 'Pottie' Potgieter, a specialist diver with the South African Police Service (SAPS), was lowered directly into the crocodile-infested waters of the Komati River to secure the 500-kilogram reptile. Now, as the bizarre video captures global attention, reports indicate that human remains along with six pairs of shoes were found inside the reptile.
