Trouble is brewing in Australia's "Croc Country" after a female crocodile was found "fileted," with only her head and spine left behind.

Local tour guides spotted the butchered carcass on May 18 on the banks of the Daintree River, Queensland. The death marks the second mysterious crocodile killing in recent months, following the discovery of a gigantic male with its head torn off on a beach in Cow Bay.
