March 2 (UPI) -- A rescue team from Australian Reptile Park successfully captured a freshwater crocodile found swimming hundreds of miles south of its usual range.
Billy Collett, who led the rescue team, said he was shocked to hear a crocodile had been spotted in Ironbark Creek in Wallsend, New South Wales on Saturday.
"We got a phone call from the police in Newcastle saying there was a croc on the loose behind Bunnings at Wallsend and I thought, you've got to be joking me," he told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
