Residents of the Indonesian town of Muara Jawa were shocked by the appearance of a huge crocodile carrying on its back the body of a previously drowned child whose family had failed to find it.
The crocodile was pulled out of the Mahakam River in the East Kalimantan region of Indonesia, the 4-year-old Muhammad Ziyad Wijaya.
In a shocking video, a crocodile can be seen carrying a small child’s body on its back to the river bank, according to the Indonesian television network, tvOne.
The crocodile immediately disappeared into the riverbed after the residents and the victim’s family saw the child’s body. The joint search and rescue team and residents immediately evacuated the body to the mainland.
When the body of the young child was successfully transported to land, no wounds were found in it except for a bite in the back that the crocodile had to inflict when picking up the victim’s body from the river water and carrying it.
It was previously reported that the little boy had drowned in the Mahakam River while he was playing alone behind his home in Muara Jawa.
