According to CrocAttack, an independent database, Indonesia had the greatest number of crocodile attacks worldwide last year, with 179 documented victims and 92 deaths.
To prevent the issue from becoming worse, locals and experts have advocated for improved government actions.
Since 1999, the saltwater crocodile has been protected by law in Indonesia, meaning that it is not allowed to be hunted. Additionally, there is no population control in nature as a top predator.
Videos on social media that depict crocodile assaults and appearances in Sulawesi and other Indonesian places are also becoming more common.
Just last week, while attempting to fetch a football in front of his pals, a 13-year-old kid was murdered by a crocodile.
