Rescuing the young victim became a challenge since the crocodile took him away.

Crocodiles do not usually hunt humans, but they can and do attack if they feel threatened, are protecting their territory, or mistake a person for prey—especially when someone is near or in the water.

The most dangerous species to humans are saltwater and Nile crocodiles. Attacks often happen when people swim or bathe in rivers or lakes where these reptiles live.

Crocodiles are ambush predators, meaning they strike quickly and without warning.

In areas where humans and crocodiles live close to each other, accidents can happen, especially if people are unaware of the presence of these animals.

While such attacks are not common, they are very possible, which is why people should always be cautious in places known to be crocodile habitats.
