Yesterday I awarded our Doofus Of The Day award to the Australian Environmental Protection Agency, for releasing a highly dangerous saltwater crocodile a thousand miles from its native territory – right in the middle of a tourist mecca!
Today comes the news that they’ve partially redeemed themselves, by recapturing the crocodile. It’ll now be transported back to its native area – where tourists are rather less commonly featured on the menu – and released there.
One wonders what they’ll think of next. Since they’re so keen on wildlife, how about recreating the long-extinct Tasmanian Wolf, the largest known marsupial carnivore, by crossing a kangaroo with a dingo? Makes about as much sense as releasing a hungry croc among tourists!
