http://www.news24.com/SouthAfr...nt-of-child-20131002 Crocodile takes mom in front of child 2013-10-02 11:47 Pretoria - A paramedic is missing after being attacked by a giant crocodile in front of her 12-year-old daughter in Botswana. Beeld reported on Wednesday that Danelle Viljoen, 38, was on holiday with her daughter and friends at Shakawe in the Okavango Delta on Monday. She was apparently watching her daughter and a friend's son while they were fishing, and sat in the shallow water to cool down. Almost immediately, a crocodile pounded on her and dragged her into the water. The crocodile was estimated to be 5-metres-long and a metre wide. Botswana police searched along the river but there was no sign of Viljoen. Viljoen's daughter is being cared for by her grandparents, who are doing missionary work near Maun in Botswana.

tragic. I guess no one told her not to get in the water because of the crocs.... I guess someone needs a hunter with a rifle and a croc tag now... Birmingham, Al | |||

Poor kid who had to witness that. Once had a PH from Zim whose brother was taken by a croc as a kid in the river on the family farm. Some things you don't get over easily. | |||

The croc was probably stalking the fishing kids when a much easier prey presented itself? Tragic!

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!
