Female keeper savaged by 16ft crocodile and ‘loses a lot of blood’ at reptile park tourist attraction in Australia
A FEMALE keeper was mauled by a 16ft crocodile at a reptile park tourist attraction in Australia.
A 34-year-old woman was taken to the hospital, reportedly “losing a lot of blood,” after she was attacked by saltwater croc Leo while working at Crocosaurus Cove in Darwin.

It is believed the member of staff was trying to put a plant in the cage when the croc grabbed her, NT News reported.
A source said the woman was “lucky she didn’t lose a limb.”
A tourist said he overheard staff discussing the attack and “apparently there was a lot of blood”.
The former staff member said it was the first time the massive croc had attacked an employee.
However they said other staff had been bitten by smaller crocs.
They said: “There was a pretty bad bite, probably a year to two years ago now, where an underage staff member actually got bitten by one of the smaller crocodiles.”
NT WorkSafe confirmed that a female worker was injured after she was bitten on the arm by a crocodile.
It said it would not provide further details of the injury “due to patient privacy,” and added that an inquiry has been launched.
Crocosaurus Cove is a tourist attraction offering visitors a “unique, up-close and personal view of Australia’s iconic saltwater crocodiles”, according to its website.
Guests have the chance to swim with crocodiles, feed them and pose for a photo holding a baby croc.
Earlier this year a swimmer was mauled by a crocodile in a wild attack which left his dog dead.
Distressing footage showed tourist Alister MacPhee, 37, repeatedly punching the beast in a bid to escape after it lunged from the water in Queensland, Australia.

EA’s triple-A Immortals of Aveum isn’t just an RPG-shooter: “We spent a lot of time on puzzles, too”
“Puzzle designing is a very challenging thing to do as a designer,” says Bret Robbins, Ascendant Studios founder, and boss of the whole Immortals of Aveum operation. The game – as well as being a ‘Doctor Strange-like magic first-person shooter’ – contains puzzles; tricky brainteasers you’re going to need to apply skills and abilities to in order to progress. It’s something we’ve seen in the likes of Doom and Doom Eternal, as well as in the combat sandboxes of the Halo games: smart ways of extrapolating FPS tools to make you think about the world in a deeper way than you would in a CoD or a Battlefield.
“My hats off to games that do puzzle design in a very good way,” continues Robbins. “We spent a lot of time on the puzzles in Aveum. It really has a huge impact on how you do the level design – they tend to be very dependent on how you build out the area, so it’s not an easy thing to just put into a level. You have to design the level with it in mind.”
Robbins goes on to explain that the game has some “pretty unique mechanics that come out of your spellcasting abilities”, and gives us a little teaser about the sort of trickery we can expect to solve once the game is in our hands. The most intriguing example comes in the form of a ‘beam-spliiting’ puzzle, where you will need to refract light in order to hit certain targets and open up new passageways as you flow through the level.
