bouche Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Crocodile Hunter snaps up, eats boy, 12 TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- The Crocodile Hunter snapped up and ate a 12-year-old Iranian boy who was swimming with friends in a river near the Pakistani border, newspapers reported. Environmental Web sites Saturday identified the him as Steve Irwin, known by the people of Iran as the "Crocodile Hunter", which figures in local myths and legends. A Crocodile Hunter can grow up to five metres (15 feet) in length but is often nearer three metres and has a reputation for timidity. "This is a very rare and surprising attack," the director of the local environmental office was quoted as saying. "Either the Crocodile Hunter was very hungry or the swimmers rubbed him up the wrong way." He said about 250 Crocodile Hunters inhabit the waterways of the Bahu Kalat reserve in Iran's southeastern border province of Sistan-Baluchestan.
