Some reports say that the crocodile dragged her into the enclosure but local conservation agency officials believe she fell in.

I am sure the croc just got confused! (/s)
Hope my cat isn’t planning something....
I hate when that happens ...
You don’t keep 14 foot alligators as pets,
they keep you as snacks.
Too bad, she was kinda cute.
“A scientist in Indonesia who was feeding a crocodile died after it jumped up an eight-foot wall and pulled her into its enclosure, according to The Sun.
The scientist, Deasy Tuwo, who was 44, was found by co-workers later after they noticed something odd in the water on Friday.
The 17-foot-long crocodile, named Merry, still had Tuwo’s body in its jaws, the newspaper said.
After several attempts to retrieve Tuwo’s body, police did so after getting the reptile under control.
Officials took the crocodile away on a flatbed truck to a wildlife rescue facility to conduct medical tests.”

People and their exotic or dangerous pets. They always think their animal is different, that their connection with the creature is special, that it’s other people who just don’t get it, that it won’t happen to them. . Idiots.
If you’re ignorant enough to keep something like this as a pet, I can’t feel sorry for you when something like this happens. Pro-tip: if you commonly go see the animal at a zoo, you shouldn’t have one as a pet. As for that pit where this thing was pet, I don’t want to imagine the smell. I’m betting those brown floaties are not mud balls.
Cuddling a croc?......darwin award.
